Looking really good!  :hairy

Someday I'm gonna try my hand a something a bit more fancy then just the plain Jane rifles I've made. It looks like it would be a great learning experience.  :shake

rain and humid weather are slowing down the finish.  However the barrel browning is coming along well.  :D

So, we have a Rice A weight swamped barrel.  Jim Chambers deluxe Siler lock.  Trigger is small Davis double lever - double set slant back with some modifications to fit the trigger guard and the slim wrist.  Chambers vent liner.  The wood is from Dave Keck.  I have $ 1,312.00 just in the parts.  About 150 hours went into the build. My good friend Chuck Hinkle did the build.  Here is a link to his site.

When it arrives and I have it in hand I will get the weight and perhaps some better photos.
