Those Western PA guns are among my favorites!!  You did a fantastic job with it.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again everyone, really appreciate the comments! Wish I had time to build more than 1 of these per year, though. I can knock out a basic rifle pretty quickly, but that patchbox and all those inlays took me quite some time.
