This will be an octagon barrel 45-70 with peeps.

Did you used to work for Georgia-Pacific?


No sir,I did work part time at Pollock Paper on a corrugated box press about 45years ago. Terrible job for a part time rookie.
I'm waiting on Dennis to get on the ball. He had the buttplate fitted and the slim down part done a couple months ago. I try never to bother my craftsman and the only contact with Dennis since January was the photos that he sent of the rough work.
Probably time for a call.



Dennis said they had forest fires and he had to move all of his rifles and personal items. Said it will be ready in a week or two..

Thanks, I need to load some rounds and get it on paper. I need a larger sight insert for the Wittek-Vaver sights. I have the sets for the front sight, but haven't found extras for the rear.

Unfortunately the buffalo hunt was 1 1/2 years ago. I guess Dennis thought it best and I agree.
Figured we would have another chance this past spring, but now I don't know.
