The photobucket/secure photo transition put those threads out of their misery, so I thought I would post a few "mostly done" photos of how it turned out (even though the lighting is uneven and my photography skills limited, you get the idea.)

I did the stock, with D'Arcy Echols looking over my shoulder (he was most generous with his time.) I came up with the barrel contour, and sent the pattern to Brux. I reshaped the Blackburn bottom metal and polished all the metal. Mark Penrod surface ground the action, chambered the barrel, added the McFarland bolt handle, and installed the Gentry safety. Gary Griffiths did the engraving. Doug at Glenrock Blue did their dip service on my polished metal. Skip Baldwin jewelled the bolt.
