Hi,
Looks like you are on your way with that nice rifle. It was great meeting you at the Gunmaker's fair!

Just looked through all seven pages.
OUTSTANDING!!!
If my first-time build ends up anywhere near your build, I'll be one happy camper.

Thank you. In hindsight there are several things I would do in a different order, and some I'd do a completely different way. But all in all, I am very pleased with this rifles look and performance.
@McGuire2003 how long did engraving take? Weeks? Days of 1-2 hours?

I worked on it about 10 hours across several days. A little at a time and when I got tired or sloppy, I walked away for a while.

None whatsoever. In fact it’s quite fast, I’m told by those more experienced than I. I get about 20 shots or so without cleaning, before I get a pan flash from a fouled flash hole. Tested that too after correcting the internal issues with the barrel. Surprised that I had the issues I did with a Colerain barrel.
