Looks like another reason to head up to Benezette so that I can purchase a raffle ticket
! Do you know when the raffle is? Probably in the fall?

What a beauty! I really like all that you've done. My first build was Andrew Verner inspired. Inspite of going off the deepend with smoothies, I still have a huge soft spot for Bucks inspired guns.
