Hang right in there "yip"! That's looking awful well! Even if you can only give it a little time each day it will keep you out of trouble!! Looking forward to see how well it is when you get a finish on there!

You and I both, Mr. Yip.  Gets difficult just getting around.  Got a few I know will never get finished, nut I keep at it, as do you.

It's a beautiful rifle! I couldn't do in days what you have done a few hours at a time.

Looking Good, and keep after it!

If you need any pictures or measurements, I have an original George Weiker Bucks rifle, that I'll be happy to send any pictures or measurements from.
