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.

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

Karl... at one time you had mentioned that you might be making this action in stainless... I mentioned I was interested in one for a 577 3"... any word on when might this be?
Very nice by the way.


I am back from a long Hiatus... or whatever.
Take care.

Pretty but rear sight not far enough down the barrel.

Very nice work. It is exactly my dream single shot rifle minus the case hardning.

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.
