Oak and leather case and double rifle modification
I recently finished building my first oak and leather case, for the .22 Hornet double which I built a few years back. At the same time, I milled dovetails on the quarter rib of the same rifle so that I can now use a scope on it when I choose to. I have some photos of the work but don't know how to post them. I could e-mail them to someone if there is a volunteer out there who would post them on this thread.

That is very impressive, excellent work on the rifle and case. I bet that rifle is a ball to shoot

Rolland, you're right, as much as it's great to shoot the .450 #2, or the 12 bore rifle, sometimes it's a pleasure to play with a double that has virtually NO felt recoil. This rifle is hell on coyotes, squirrels, and rabbits too.

I can't imagine that I will ever be able to make such things. What talent to have...

OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}

Well done Ron.

I've got a source for the traditional brass nozzle locks and handles. If you need them in the future PM.
