    L&R Locks - Current Quality?

    I've been planning for a future build, and it appears that my lock choice is somewhat limited to L&R due to the style needed. I've read a number of more distant past posts related to their quality, which seems hit or miss. Some swear by them ... others at them. Where are they at today? Thanks!

    WANTED Ferguson Rifle or parts taking up space in your safe?

    Before I run down the particular rabbit hole that is the Ferguson rifle, I thought I'd put out a request to see if anyone might have a completed rifle or an unfinished project taking up space that they might be willing to part with. I'm looking for the standard version - or Ordnance rifle...

    Early long rifle finishing - question

    While many of the rifles built by today's artisans seem to have been finished with the intent to replicate an aged patina, what did the rifles actually look like new - and how might that have changed over time?
