Tim,

Since I couldn't see the originally posted photos I thought that I would never be able to remember which photo went where.  However, what I tried was to go to the original post and click on the "Modify" button.  When the post came up, the PhotoBucket links have the name or number of the photo as part of the link.  I then clicked on the new "Add image to post" and uploaded the same photos from my files.  They show up at the end of the post you are modifying, so I cut and pasted each one under the original PhotoBucket link to make sure I had the correct photo and that I had all of them.  Then I went through and deleted the PhotoBucket links (which made me feel good).  It sounds more complicated than it really turned out to be.

KC and n stephenson,

Thank you for the kind words.  One of these days I will make it to a CLA event. Even more than handling originals, I am looking forward to meeting so many of the talented and kind people I have exchanged ideas with on this board in person.

webradbury,

When the guns are fired on a ship like that it feels like.....freedom.  The weapons, be they long rifles or battleships, of dedicated men, armed in defense of freedom give a sense of purpose the protected will never know.

That's really beautiful work, Dave.  The meteor sights are a nice touch.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread again, but this one was the focus of a lot of the emails I got about updating the photos......others were interested in the sights made out of a meteor.  And, as it turned out, this was the primary thread that I MISSED FIXING THE PICTURES ....... :-\ :o >:(

They are fixed now !!

Daryl,

Unfortunately I have not had any opportunity to go shoot this rifle very much !!!  I have been building rifles faster than I can go spend the time to really work on load development for any of them....which was never the plan !!!  I have the time, here and there, to work on building, but it is a day long event just to get to the range around here.  But work is slowing down at present, so I plan on just disappearing for a week or so, just to go shoot.... ;)
