Looking good, runastav :-)
And a merry Christmas to you as well.
I was wondering about one thing: Are you going to leave the top flat or round it gently as they usually were?

This is a very intriguing build.  In my wanderings ion the interweb, I remember a thread about such a rifle on homegunsmith forum (I think).  Wasn't much enthusiasm about there...  From what I see and can imagine, that will be a sweet handling, very unique rifle.  Great work!
