Hey Mike,
That sure is as nice of a rendition of a Reading City rifle as I have seen. Too bad someone palmed that ugly stick of wood off on you. The grain almost confuses the mind looking at it, but then at my age I am easily confused. #374 huh! what happened, you on vacation? I pulled a few numbers ahead of you...more whittling and less typing... Best wishes

I'm old and busted up. If I get 6 guns done a year now it's a miracle. Back in my wasted youth I sometimes did as many as 18 carved rifles a year. Now it's arthritis in my hands, back, neck and knees. I'm lucky to get 3-4 hours in a day. Been getting more done lately as my wife is a teacher and is home all the time now. I have to stay the $#*! out of the house or she finds something for me to do. If I'm going to be in pain doing something I'd just as soon be building guns.
Sounds like my current schedule.I haven,t been in the shop for a week.
I have got several inquiries for locks and I am not making any more of
them of any type.The triggers are all I will do and in limited numbers.
TIME is not a friend and never has been tp any of us and at 84 the level
of interest is changed a lot from "get it done" to "It gets done when it is done".
