Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Gregg , the sliding box is in the toe of the first rifle. I didn't know about doing this build at first but, I figured I should practice what I preach. I constantly tell new builders to step outside of their comfort zone and try new things. I realize my rendition was far from what the original was . The wood worked nicely , except it was easy to chip , as evident in the gappy sideplate inlet. I decided not to fill the gaps , because I thought it would look worse with filler. My biggest concern was trying to get the stock architecture right. I used a method I have done many times before. To avoid copyright infringement I take a piece of tracing paper and trace the picture of a rifle out of a book or other source , very closely. I take the tracing to Office Max and , "blow it up " on their large copier until the LOP is the length I want. This way I should end up with a copy of the original profile. That is how I got my profile , because the architecture of this piece would be hard for me to get right. This rifle holds and feels very good , I really didn't know what to expect , but those Danish Masters , definitely knew how to make a good handling rifle. Thanks again . Nate
