Finally Done!

Buffler Razz:
Well, I finally got my first build done. Mark Silver Virginia Rifle from Jim Chambers. 58 cal Rice barrel.

I had a ball over the last few months and can not thank all here, especially Wyosmith and Captchee enough for the help. There were some very anxious moments as I stood before the gun, drill in hand, finger poised on the trigger telling myself" Ronnie, don't screw it up. If you miss drill that hole the new stock is gonna cost you $$$ and time!"

All in all, it came out way better than I had hoped for. There are a few flaws and mistakes, but I can certainly live with them since they are mine. She was made to be a shooter and hopefully will make meat this fall. I plan to start shooting her this weekend.
