That's a great looking one! I just recently started the same one but 50 cal. rifled.

Did you keep track of how many feet of wire inlay you used?

Thanks for posting!

Tom I meant to and did when I started but once I got into it I lost track.

Awesome build, Mitch. What a job! We’re you able to get all the measurements from the original in Philly?
