Wow! That is awsome! It is perfect just the way it is! The main thing you will have to do is to enjoy it. I see you do have the complete battery hold down still there. So often they are tossed when folks buy smaller batteries such as yours has. Get the correct group battery and then you will be able to lose the rope or wire or whatever it is. At any rate, so good to see a 223 still intact and in use! It's like a breath of fresh air!
