Very bonny work on a very complex  build, Mike.
Very clean carving......it's just like you knew what you were doing!  LOL.

Never could work like "The Gunsmith Of Grenville County" myself.     He Measures stuff!  :-)

One of the cleanest builds I've seen, Mike.    Clever lad!
Thanks!
 Haven't seen you around in a while.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Mike,  Is your locked finished the same as your barrel?  The finish on that barrel and lock go well together.  I don’t have LMF Brown but I do have Tracks tried and true.  It was a cake walk to use and pretty easy to tell when it was finished doing its thang.

Yep, both treated the same way.
