Good find on the sanding block, Runar! Looks like a real time saver. The rifle is coming along very nicely.

You are really doing a first-class job on that rifle. Maybe you emigrate here like the German gunsmiths in the 17th and 18th centuries?
And our state of Minnesota has a LOT of Scandinavian people - Ollie and Sven jokes are always popping up. Nice and cold, lots of snow there.
