Way to go, young Jedi!  It is difficult to maintain a good scholastic record.  I predict a great future for you.

Stay smart, my friend!

 Hey looks good Will, how about a shot of the other side. What are you going to hunt with it? Have you tried shot in it yet? Did you get to do any of the work on it? Good job on the school work, tell your Dad he did a nice job. Have you guys started planning the next one yet ;)

Way to go, brother. I used to dream about owning a flintlock when I was a boy. To have your dad make it for you is even more special.

Will, I hope your band-aid supply has not run low.  If you need more, just PM me.
I am going to presume that you have learned to knap flints for your rifle, so I will trade you a new box of band-aids for two "Mr. Will" flints, 3/4"

Good job, Will!  Your story reminds me of my first rifle, a flintlock.

Will,
Congratulations to you for the grades and achieving the honors you have received for your great efforts. Thankful you realized what you needed to do and went for it. Keep those grades on top and it will pay off for you in college and life!
Also congratulations to your Dad for accomplishing such a nice rifle build for you! That is truly a Special Dad!
Finally it is great to hear about a Dad in this day and times that is not so busy, he can’t do something very special for his son and give such a neat reward for his accomplishments!
God’s Speed to you both!
