Nicely engraved toe plate

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Yes, a very nice one!
Did you do that, or is that all there is left of the gun?

Hmm, a lock, barrel, tang, side plate, thimbles, nose cap, sights, trigger, and plate and you'd have yourself a rifle.
