I was browsing through the Accouterments II book and I found the rifle.  It seemed to stand out compared to other typical rifles you see these days.  The only things was most of the parts are not commercially available, so I had to make many of them.  Even though it took me a long time, it allowed me to learn a new set of skills.

You may notice the triggerguard is missing from the rifle.  Somehow it got bent and the bow depresses the trigger.  I have to bend it back to shape and install it.

Thanks everyone!  It was a labor of love.  I will get some close up pics of the rifle and post them.
