Receiver is back from color case. ![[Linked Image]](http://i68.tinypic.com/zsssac.jpg) 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..

Damn beautiful rifle BL, the wait had to be excruciating, hope you get it rigged out in time and zeroed for a nice buffalo hunt.

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.

Good luck on the buffalo hunt ! 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.
