    Lehigh Small Frame Schimmel Build.

    I built in enough cast as my starting block was a 3.75" wide. I researched and noted the cheek slap issue and flexed the butt almost 1/2" off center line. It feels very good.

    Yep I started the pitting process around the breech and muzzle and french grayed all the metal. There will be a bunch more to be done to it in the aging process this just started the ball rolling.

    Yep thats my plan in the spring. Been hovering around 0 degrees the last two weeks. I will have three to bench test when the weather breaks and the sap starts running. Its always a good time to shoot when your boiling maple syrup.
