I don't usually post in threads like this but this one got my attention...

Nice hefty list of what I did on these old Weaver U25Bs. Took me at least two months to get all this done.

Some work in progress shots...

I'll have to grab some higher resolution photos of the finished products when I get a chance.

And just for kicks, here's what they looked like out of box, except for the coupler and pilot.

Hope everyone enjoys. These guys haven't left the layout since the overhaul, after sitting on the shelf for a good 10 years or more beforehand.
