Ernest asked me to post this for him. A little more shaping and polish left and of course color cased action. The blank is very dense and looks pretty good to. This is the first long bar rifle I've built and I'm proud that it is going to my friend Ernest Gilbert.
Merry Christmas all
Butch

Looks very nice Butch. I am sure the finished rifle will be a beauty. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Well you could hardly ask for better grain flow through the wrist and a beautiful piece of wood. And the Judge will be the only kid on the block with one of these. Congrats to the maker and the owner!

Looks like the makings of a fine rifle in a superb caliber with exquisite wood! Merry Christmas indeed!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Hey Judge,
After you kill a few tuskers with this one you will probably get tired of it.
Be sure to put me on the list to take it off your hands. Big Grin

I still am shooting and loving the last one.

He must have been a very good boy for Santa to like him so much.
