Bill-

I do indeed have a very nice jones/back action... rear end of a C&H 8b SxS, also an absolutely miniature toplever back action SxS that'll end up as a 25-25 stevens mini express later on.
I also have the metalworking skills to pull a project like this off very nicely, all of it in-house save for boring and rifling my own barrels, and I could set up for that too with the equipment I have here if it really came down to a need-to-do basis.

Much more important lately though is my nine month old daughter and the pursuit for a bit of a solid career lateral -- both of which have cut deeply into my F.O.T. in the machine shop.

Stay tuned though, my wheels are turning and there's blue smoke in the future of my benchmade projects.

For now it's all I can do to sneak out back and turn a few pinfire rifle cases out or even do a bit of reloading for my new .458

All is just as it should be and I'm enjoying the ride as it goes.
