looks very well done. Could you give that some context? Is it a work in progress by Frank, photos fo an old build, or a build class gun?

I sure do admire Frank's work. He's one of those guys that I ask myself "what would Frank think about this". Thanks for posting.

It looks very well done so far!
Look forward to seeing more of it.
Jim,
It was Frank told me regarding fore-ends, "Take off enough wood so you think you've ruined it,....then take some more off!"

It's a Kibler smr kit rifle. I think he said it was for a movie prop. The box is similar to one from a maker in Tennessee but don't remember which one Frank said.

Here's a photo of the original that I saved. I don't know where it came from, but it was either on this site or the contemporary makers blog. It's not my photo, and I didn't attend whatever show it was at. I just liked the patchbox so I saved the photo.

Not really fond of metal patch boxes, but I really like that one. Definitely out of the box thinking. I like Frank's lid proportions better than the original.

Small changes can make a big difference if done right
