This is a very elegant rifle. I love the way you keep it so period and not contemporary looking like so many builders
do today. Your rifles and especially this one, are classics in their architecture and execution. I love your carving and engraving in they look properly period and not modern. Your finish also speaks to a rifle that has been used but never abused. Congratulations on your ribbons at Dixons. I just wish I could have been there.
Mark,
Heartfelt congratulations. A beautiful rife… Nice as old #14!
Regards,
Michael
