I did. Me too. This has turned me away from PA rifles--at least for a while. I don't think my PA rifles would mind living with this gun in the rack. I'm just gobsmacked!  :o

That's a really kick a** piece!  And I love the box.  Love everything about it, in fact.  Absolutely excellent lines and flow there.

Thank you guys, I definitely enjoyed building it! Some of those NC Piedmont rifles have a feel about them like nothing else, I was trying to bring some of that out in this rifle without copying any one particular piece.

I like the rifle on the blog too.  The one I'm referring to that so impressed me was the one at Lewisburg
with the poured pewter wrist and nosecap.  I wish I had pictures to post.

Thanks Art.  That's the one.  Really caught my eye.  Makes me think of Indians.
I don't know why.
