Marc,
That's one sleek rifle you built.  Very clean lines.  I really like it.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

It's a labor of love, not a profit center.  That's for sure.

Thanks for the comments guys. I used my finest $25 blank to build the rifle. I actually like the wood alot, because it super hard. What little figure that showed up happened after staining with aquafortis.
