    Not sure what the industry standards are but Track of the Wolf repeats in their instructions for dovetails and such to leave a minimum.050” barrel wall. I measured this out and there is .084” barrel wall thickness between the holes and bore ! So I have no worries 😉

    Trade Axe Identification?

    Well the Postman brought me this today 👍 Got a much better look at it now that it’s officially mine…3 stamps on both sides, I cannot see any clear evidence that it has a hardened bit added ??? Weighs just 2 ounces shy of 3lbs ! I’m pretty stoked to have it 😎

    Trade Axe Identification?

    Yes the handle is no doubt a modern piece….he simply stuck it in the eye to display the head. It is certainly not correct for the piece👍 Thanks for the info thus far folks!

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    Great looking gun as usual 👍 Some of the Muley hunting up here is in old growth fir….gets thick. Lottsa shots required are close up and fast ! I’m thinking a “canoe” length smoothie would be right handy 🤔
