Nicely done!  Like the patchbox a lot. Great color and patina, very nice carving.

You’ve done a great job on this rifle, Quido. Beautiful carving and finish. Love the box as well. Looking forward to # 7.

I love how you finished that stock! The whole thing is just awesome. Well done. Can I ask how the stock was finished like that? I saw a Hawken like that and thought it was the coolest thing.

Over all its a nice rifle. I like your carving, well done. I would suggest though shortening the cheek piece so  you have a little more room behind it. Your carving looks a little crowded to my eye. Also and this is my personal taste, is the patch box looks better if its closer to being  parallel but not quite with the comb. I like to put the patch box on the stock with tape and hang it on the wall for a day or so to see if I like the location. Keep up the good work your next build will be even better. We all learn something new with every build.

Yes sir, I see all that and will keep all that in mind on future work.  That's what I love about this art is the continued learning!
