Well, heck, Tom, I guess I am just going to rush things and not wait until the 2nd Tuesday of next week.  Might never get here, and if it does, I'll probably forget.
First off, it looks like you got your own guard cat going there, doing what they do best - either sleeping or paying no attention to the antics of mere humans.
From the woefully scant number of photos, it does look like a sweet rifle.  Sure has a short sight radius, though.  The fellow must have some eye problems?  Or is a simple matter of age?
Elegantly simple rifle - I like it.
