You did a fine job!!

Impressive. I like it.

But am hearing this in the background, have to admit: “I’m Rick James!”

That came out great. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Where the action parts hard to acquire?

Very nice job. Wish I could find a $50 Marlin Model 60 to play with.

Nice work !

The gun was complete when I got it, here are a couple of before and after pictures
