A new Tennessee on the Blog is beyond words fantastic.  Beautiful work Keith.  Guess you didn't have a problem welding up that tang.  How bout some spec's on it.

The pictures don't do it justice.  She's a beauty and has a great feel.  Great job Keith.  Glad to see you put away those Anthus (sp) leaf Jaeger buttplates and get spend the time on long tangs!  Ha, ha ha

P.S.  I know I sound like a cheerleader sometimes but thanks to Art and Jan for keeping the blog going.  I start the morning off checking to see what new works have been posted.

Thanks guys.....    :)  The specs are on the blog as far as parts used.  That tang was the easy one, the one I am working on now is the one that gave me fits & still have not figured out why, A couple more coats of finish & I will have it done as well.

I marvel at the finish on that gun.  I had a chance to handle it a couple of times.  I'd be proud to own one like it.
