Ok, you asked. If you are that starved, I'll show pics.

Image
This is a Glenfield model 25 that I got from GB for $20. After Bubba lost the trigger guard, he tried to fit a model 60 guard in it's place.

Image
It was basically a barreled action with a stock. Bubba couldn't keep track of the stock screw either! I cleaned it up with 0000 wool and the bbl blue came out spotty, but no pitting.

Image
I found a stock from a Marlin .22 Mag. It was a near perfect match, the only fitting I needed to do was at the chamber. So I was forced to refinish it cuz I couldn't match Marlin's finish.

Image
I threw on a scope, just for effect and took some prelim pics. I still need stock screw, magazine guard, magazine guide and sights (old style front and rear).

If she shoots ok I'll make a squirrel sniper out of her.

You asked and there it is.

This was actually the third one that I did. The first was just smoothing out the brass on a flintlock kit rifle that I bought used. This coming summer I want to refinish the stock cuz the former owner never did a final fit of the brass to the stock. The finish itself is nice, but the brass looks like it was pressed into the wood. the first one I did was for a Winchester m270. I have before and after pics of that too.
