Joel,

Thanks for the detailed explanations.

I note in the past you have mentioned dwindling suppliues of suitable actions. As I want you to make me one or two rifles in the imaginary future (

) I think putting a couple of actions suitable aside is wise. But you have made that just as hard, a 10.75x68 near new M98 action???!!! :O add that to the imaginary future as well. Ha ha.

This rifle is destined for a lucky customer in Sydney. Lucky bastard! Are you on the membership of NE?

Joel, thanks for your support of the NE forums. I am glad you have also got several sales from our members as well over the years. Its great to see these lovely classic USABLE rifles being made and hopefully used.

We need a thread of the owners actually using them!

I am sure this one will be.

As I mentioned elsewhere I would like to create a small thread on "moon sights". This rifle has a lovely one. In the closed position. It would be nice to have photos of the sight in closed, fully opened half way to illustrate it.

Then there are other types where the moon sight flips up from behind. On bolt actions and double rifles.

For a decade I was thinking of a NitroExpressWiki system. Setting it up lots of work. Especially the actual posts and data. A halfway house instead using the forums, and tagging instead.

Any photos would be appreciated.

Thanks for the photos above and information.
