Hey Bob,

You made a beautiful rifle. The metal to metal fit is great. How did you finish the muzzle? Did you make a new extractor or build on to the existing one? I'm glad to hear your remarks about the welding. It has about drove us crazy trying to get tig & mig work done. I'm next door to a fabricationg shop and they have screwed up just about every job they tried but to be honest they were tough jobs. They say they don't understand unless it's the steel that is in the guns because welds wont hold or they burn through in places or once we try to file down the welds there are bad bugholes or the welds show through rust bluing. I would like to have the monoblock tigged up where the bbl. lines show but I'm afraid they'll burn though where the sideclips are or into the chambers. :^( I always heard tigg was the cat's meow but we sure have had less than perfect results.

love the jigs
