That is one lovely rifle Bramble, but I fear a little too good for the likes of me!I'd be scared to scratch bugger!

I am in awe of people who can build such beautiful things. Speaking as someone who
was "cashiered" from woodwork etc at school and who is to any craft what Mike Tyson is to ballet
I am facinated by the skill of the smiths amateur and proffesional on this site and the things they can build.

DGR375 thats not a bad notion " No fancy woodwork or fancy metalwork, just a gun that works, and works well."' Thats what I am after, I have a couple of brno rifles and like them (Yes they need a wee spruce up etc etc but for the dough as workers they do the job) What barrell did you go for?
