OK, I made the swivel mounts and front sight today. Now I am ready to polish the steel and sand the wood for finish. I will engrave the metal before I blue it. I hope to get to the finish work within the next few weeks. Checkering comes after all the rest is done.

The last thing to do will be to kill some kind of game with it. I may take it out for deer or antelope this coming season. I have other rifles I'd like to try out too.

Dang............I need more hunting time.
