Just wanted to show you guys where we are at with Serial #1 of the C-97 Falling Block Project. It is back from the Jim White, the engraver, and has been color case hardened. Below are pictures, next it is off for bluing, then the stock gets checkered. Hope you like.
Is that the 500 nitro ? good to see a company who puts its money where its mouth is !!!!!! and does what it says ,''its gonna do '',Out of all the single shots ,i think this one is the pick of the litter !!! for quality ,looks ,and a modern classic !!!
Beautiful case colors. Who did them, if you don't mind saying? That blue color looks like blue flame. Very stunning in the right light. Beautiful rifle. Can't wait to see it finished.
Regards, Brian

Let me add that you are doing a beautiful job of creating lust in my heart for one of your rifles. Tell your boss or whoever that I said you a great salesman.
Nice doesn't mean weak.
