Hi Jerry, I didn't notice you are in France. German parts would be easier to get there than here. Do not use electronics solder, it's flux is not kind to brass. I used common plumbers solder. As compulsive as Germans are I would not try to best them with a new scale stick unless man agraffes are not properly located. If only two or three out of line make allowances for those only. If I were you I would get pre-drilled rails instead of blank; much less work. The other possibility is to send the action frame to Germany to have them install new rails, especially if you need both, a lot less chance for error. Please note that the rails are rotated slightly. Duplicate this rotation exactly for proper parts alignment. Have fun. Newton nhunt@jagat.com
