Thanks you for your kind replies. The praise must go to Mr Connolly for his great technical abilites and artistic sense. His engraving is wonderful too.

brandoninaz, the rifle is a casting and the barreled actions were made by a gentleman in Australia. It is the same as the barreled actions used by London Guns of Melbourne, with a lot of hand work, for the rifles that they made up. Around two years ago what I believe to be the last of these barreled actions were sold by Mr Wal Winfer. I know of one gunmaker in Australia that has three in his possession and is interested to see the progress of mine. As can be seen from the first photograph, the actions require a lot of work.

ChrisO, I like the Ruger No1's too, with a few changes Ruger could have made them a whole lot better, particularly the safety for larger or flanged cartridges.

If you wish to see some further examples of Damien's abilities, you can log onto the "Internet Craftsmanship Museum":

Best wishes, Chris
