Thanks. I am hunting them down now. I cant wait until I get to start building my gun. I have wanted to do this since I was about 14. Considering I'm 37 now I figure its about time to get started.
know that feeling well. i'm lucky to have a grand old builder not too awful far away who is helping me along. great thing about being 25 years behind the time-line from the get-go (two or three years just buying parts here), is that you shouldn't feel the need to rush anything.
I'm all tore up (that's Southern) about my _next_ rifle(s) to build. Am logging now and get all worked up about the standing maple i have (the interesting wood that the mills don't want you know).
Hey, while were at it and to stay on topic, could you fellows who have been studying the rifles of this region for many years post a pic or two and comment upon them. I'm sure some folks have seen enough originals to write a book and have read many books and have formed some of their own opinions and those I'd like to hear-right here on the interweb.
Or is that just too controversial?
Also, I'm going to hit Mr. Anderson's library next time I get down there. Are there any out-of-print books that I should look for while I'm there. Pretty sure he has everything printed on the subject in the last 50 years or so.
