Very beautiful, Colin! Some gentleman is going to be extremely happy and proud of his acquisition! You show why a gunsmith is a true artist with your work!

Thanks for sharing these pictures and very good hunting!

Thank You mehulkamdar for the compliments. This one doesn't have a gentleman's name on it yet. I built it as a speculation gun for the NMLRA Spring Shoot(June 12-20th), so it's actually for sale with the stipulation that I won't ship it until after the Shoot/Show.
