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
