Very nice--I have admired your work since I saw a left-handed early VA rifle that you built that was sold by TOW many years ago.  I actually printed off their pictures and have kept them thinking that someday I might be able to own such a great rifle.  Your work is great and congratulations on the 300.  There are a lot of lucky MB rifle  owners out there.

I had Mike do me a rifle,,,then I got in the cowboy stuff and like the insane person I am, I sold it. I've missed that rifle like a lost family member ever since.

That's a very nice rifle Mike!  Wish I could afford you!

BTW, I only saw the additional pics by accident when I clicked on the pic on the main page.  Wonder how many have not done that and not gotten to all the other pics?  Probably I'm the only dummy!
