Got the call!!!!!

I talked to Paul for quite a while. One fine fellow to spend time with. He walked me through changing barrels and recommendations finishing the wood.
The wood to metal fit is not as good as Shiloh but I think I can close some of the gaps when I start to finish the wood. I really don't want to start sanding on the stock quite yet. It has been out in damp conditions since I had it with six days of steady rains when moving down the roads.
The rifle might be a little heavy for the Silhouette game. As close as I can weigh it on my food scale it comes in at 12# with the 32" round barrel, but I guess I could mount a scope on it if it's a couple OZ over the limit for tang sights. I don't shoot silhouettes anyway.
Gail asked me when they started building the rifle if I wanted to make it 12.2# I said no just cut the barrel 32". I have other rifles that make weight.
