Been following since the first post and it's a wonderful rifle.  Can't wait for the next update.
My profile picture is my beloved K9 best friend and soulmate, Buster Brown, who passed away in 2018.  I miss you buddy!

Lock is mostly finished. I forgot the screw that holds the cock to the tumbler. The trigger guard is done and the grain still shows but not as much as before.

The guard looks great. I wonder how many times that we’re going to have to answer the Damascus question??

Thanks Joe. This is the first time I've had the grain show like this on wrought iron hardware.

I'm glad this is almost done, I think Wayne is about to have kittens. ;D He's already told me he figures every shot out of this gun is going to be a 10X. …..Maybe a few years ago....::)

Mike it should have been out of the shop a month and half back. But I've been trapping more than I should and eye problems.

Nifty, here in Iowa they are finally letting bobcats be trapped. I think they allow 2 per year. I see tracks out by my barn every winter. None of the locals believe me of course. ::)

Brian, it sure looks like you have those cats figured out!  I hope you didn’t have to run those down... :o .  You ought to join forces with a good taxidermist...every UK basketball fan wants one...

Greg, the one in my right hand was the one I had to chase. These are the ones I brought to Boonesborough in January.

It's tough to decide what makes me smile the most.....the rifle.....the cats....or the smile on your face.
