Time for an update. The customer hasn't put a rush on anything and slowly pays as he is allowed. He has the same problem as I; young, broke, and both starting new businesses!

Since my last post the gun has grown extended top and bottom tangs, scope mounts for Talley QD rings, some checkering, and a preliminary quick polish to get ready for engraving. The rifle was dropped off with fairly new but very capable engraver John Todd while at the DSC show.

I was able to find an up and coming freelance model to hold the rifle while I took some pics(not really).
