Impressive craftsmanship and artistry!

"Simplicity is the essence of elegance." Sophia Loren That is a very nice looking rifle.

Tallpine, I'll take it. PM sent.

Congratulations on your future Colonial. Success is nearly guaranteed with Jim's kits. I've grown to love my SMR and the squirrels are learning to hate it.

She is an elegant beauty. You did well, Jack.

The frame is brass with a heavy patina. I had one many years ago.

I like everything about that rifle! Congratulations Jack.

I have two, one was factory finished and the other was a kit. I've been very pleased with both of them.

Bobby bored out the barrel of my Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle from .50 to .54. He did a fine job.

I'm on the third planet out from a yellow dwarf star residing in the Orion Arm about two thirds out from the black hole at the center of a spiral galaxy locally referred to as The Milky Way. If you ever happen to pass by I'll be sure to wave.

Pedersoli .54 Maple Rocky Mountain. Not likely I will ever part with it.

I have the Rocky Mountain maple in .54. Great rifles.
