Whilst down Lithgow way, I went to see my gunsmith and nutted out the new rifle. The action work has been started, I picked out a piece of wood, nothing fancy or expensive, just a nice bit of straight grained walnut. Ebony forend, Buff horn grip cap (water not cape). New bolt handle and trigger, express sights (1 fixed-2 folded)wrap around chequering, barrel band....Now I've just got to sell a kidney to pay for it! [Wink] [Big Grin]

Hey Bakes,
In what sort of condition is that kidney and what are you asking for it? [Wink] Good luck with your Rigby project, my friend, keep us posted and don't forget the pics! [Smile]

Nice one Bakes
Sounds like it will be a very nice looking rifle.
Please post pics when finished.

Let me know where you sell the kidney and how much you get for it as I may need to sell one as well - to afford my next project. [Smile]
