Rustam,

Will get an air rifle for her - let's see how that goes. I'll try to work on the 69 A but if I feel that I am not doing a good job, off it will go to a gunsmith. A friend in Texas has some mesquite wood for me from his property (where we had invited you guys some time ago - there's a hint there, nudge, nudge, wink, wink,

) and I'm going to use it for building a rifle on the Brno action.

WIll post pics here as the work gets underway - hopefully, I'll do well if nothing out of fear of embarassing myself on a forum that is full of immensely talented people.

Best wishes and a big hug to the two young men,

Mehul
