The breach plug was rough machined by Ed Raly, who also made the barrel. I did the tang and the comb return. I sculpted the breach to look nice, but most of it was done by Rayl.

The under rib was made for me by my friend Colin. (CowboyCS). I don't own a mill, so I asked him to do it for me. It's solid, not hollow to add weight. I had to taper it and fit it up. It's lower at the entry pipe and higher at the muzzle so the rod is parallel to the bore and doesn't follow the taper of the barrel. it also tapers to fit the flat from rear to front.

The pipes, trigger guard, trigger, comb plate grip cap, side plate and all the associated parts had to be hand made. The lock is a modified L&R Back Action. It took quite a lot of modification to the front of the lock plate and the hammer to make them work on a rifle this big.

I am going to start the metal polish tomorrow, but I think it's going to take some time. There is a LOT of surface on the steel of this rifle..

And the engraving is also going to take some time. There's a lot of room here to engrave.
