Thank you Utah708 for all the valuable information and help. Really appreciate the suggestion about the guild show in Feb. I am sure I will also a learn a lot about custom gun making if I can make it to the show.

I spent some time browsing Roger Vardy's website and he has an impressive collection of blanks. SR479 is very nice.

Hindsight I should not have posted the pics of the other guns, seemed like a good idea at time as some folks love these old guns.
