Hi Tony,
Thanks for the welcome. I'd also like to thank you for preaching often about not making the barrels too heavy lest you lose that "between the hands balance and quickness" that a double rifle should have. I thought long and hard about that and since my other projects ended up more muzzle heavy than I would have liked, I turned these barrels MUCH smaller in diameter than instinct told me to do. Rather than .750" at the muzzles, they are .670". The result is that this gun feels ALIVE in the hands. Unloaded, no sling, and no scope, it weighs 9 lbs 11 1/2 oz, but it is a joy to shoot. Good on ya mate!
