I will get to see it in person this weekend.  It's likely that all the carving will be done by then. 
This is my once in a lifetime custom flintlock rifle and I'm sure excited to watch it come together.  I promise to answer all questions and give the details when it's finished and delivered.

I got to handle it this past weekend.  The balance, fit, and weight is better than I imagined it could be!
