For me to be able to afford it, I would have to get 3 better paying jobs. What a beautiful rifle

Can you imagine having the ability and the tools to build such a thing?
I can't. It's that simple; I just can't imagine it. Thankfully others can.

That's exactly what I was thinking also. What dedication to learning the art and craft to be able to execute not only the functional aspects of that rifle, but also the aesthetics. Simply amazing to me.

Great idea for my next 4-bore. However, I'm in the hospital connected to a continuous morphine pump.

It looks great from the side but, if you'll forgive my boorishness, from the front 'the picture has a moustache'.

If you look closely on the bottom of the barrel flats it appears to be chopper lumps. I wonder how those were machined? Are the lumps on the outside barrels supporting the middle tube?
