Allen, great looking rifle. It reminds me very much of a rifle I saw around 40 years ago at the Friendship. It was the first pre-revolutionary rifle styled rifle I had ever seen and the builder, whose name I do not remember, spent quite a bit of time educating me. Even though we did not know as much then as we do now, it started me down a path that has been a great learning experience. WIth the same octan to round barrel, elegant but simple box, and businesslike architecture, this brought back a good memory and has that same "take me to the woods and shoot me" look that other rifle did. Thanks for posting. Heinz
