Yip,
Please don't refer to yourself as a cripple, you may be challenged but you have proven that you can overcome them! Your rifle looks great.

Great looking rifle, anybody who finishes building a long rifle deserves a fair ammount of respect in my book and you sir have stood the test. Thanks for sharing.

  Take pride in everything you do. What is important is that you followed through regardless of your physical condition. That and you never gave up.
  One very nice looking rifle...Well done...
