  Oh and the honey do list, it's gardening season . ( life-threatening)  ;)

 Bear season starts in a couple weeks so need to do some shooting. ( a priority )

 And .......  You get the picture.

I'll be getting into the build starting this week.
 Tried picking up some bulk shot for the Fowler but all the local spots are sold out.  Plenty of balls n conical though but say they can't keep shot in stock.

 Well its finally looking like something.
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
now to inlet the trigger guard and I'm outta parts so i figure most be close to done.
 I ran out of 1/16" rod for pins and I found out that little marker flags come on a 15" x 1/16" steel rod.  worked perfectly.

Wonder how I might proceed on the trigger guard.
 I've seen flush mount with screw and inlet with pins.  I"m leaning toward pins.

Looks real good.

I like pins myself, but I have went the screw route, and I've went (pin in front and screw in rear). So, whichever you decide.  :hairy
