Tinker,

The wood to metal fit is very good and I don't see any problems there. Maybe one day I will hunt with it. For now, I use it primarily for blowing up those pesky water ballons! My first guess load worked well straight away and that surprised me quite a bit. This load uses a 455 grain gas check bullet from Montana Bullet Works, 66.0 grains of H-4198, a Federal 215 primer, and 15 grains of Dacron filler. The velocity at about 10ft from the muzzle is 1828 ft/s and the rifle is a lot of fun to shoot. Next, I will try paper patched bullets, my personal favorite.

Regards,

Jim

PS: I just realized that I shouldn't have put that firing pin retainer wrench in the first picture--oh well--too late now. I'm so used to hammer guns that I didn't even think about it...
