[bmtshooter]

Looks like it is coming along nicely, other than mounting the lock on the wrong side 

[Hanshi]

I think you're doing it right.  By the way, where did this little guy originate?

Jackie Brown made this for me about three months ago. Nearly 15 inch Length of pull and left handed of course. Nice piece of cherry too.

[Red Badger]

After getting rain at least twice a week for three months, flash flood warnings and at least one tornado warning every 72 hours my yard is starting to develop cracks! This weird weather may affect you up there in Oklahoma so he careful that you don't tempt fate by giving invitations based on predictions!  😮
Nevertheless, the final coat of stain was applied today and the last bit of iron furniture was sanded down too, in anticipation of fair weather and a willing host in order to try out the finished product. I may be slow but I'm in no way fast!

Looking. good You're going to have a god looking shooting iron when you get it all done.  I wouldn't worry about the time it is taking you because it is not like you're on the clock.  The turtle always said slow and steady wins the race. Take your time you'll end up with a much nicer rifle.  i' have a little squirrel rifle I been working on for over a year.  I work a little on t then put t up for a week or so. I am trying right now to finish a couple of my winter projects. Hunting season somehow tends to get in the way.

[William]

Parts and barrel are blued.

[William]

Nuther separate so it ain't to big.

[William]

Last one before Tru-oil is applied to the stock and everything is assembled.

[Winter Hawk]

Looking good there!  Now to see everything put together; I bet it will be purty!

~WH~

[William]

Three coats of Tru-oil. Now two of the three pins are not wanting to go back in so it looks like I'm going to be drilling slightly larger holes and using nails instead of the soft wire. One thing after another.
