how do you like the sling? does it interfere with the rod coming out or going back in?

 

[coredneck]

That's one thing I'll probably never get to do. Build a rifle and then take a deer.
Good on you sir

Any chance of taking a trip to the USA I'm sure more than a few of us would be happy to help out on this side of the pond

I ain't wealthy enough friend.
I could set up a funding bank for donations though

the sling does get in the way a bit with the ramrod but not too much to be a nuisance. It sure is nice to sling your gun over your shoulders while dragging a deer out of the woods. The bigger issue on this gun is the low rear Buckhorn sight required me to file down the front sight so low that the strap almost blocks out the front sight. I needed to take front end of the strap off while sitting in the blind. I learned that the hard way on my first opportunity on a deer with it. Next gun I build will get a medium height set of sights for this reason.

A GoFundMe for Brit to come to the states for a BP Whitetail.... I could get behind that.

Easier and cheaper to come to Canada and hunt elk

In fact, with the right contact it’s likely to just cost the flight and license!

Well Brit my wife and I just a discussion on the hunting situation, told her I was going to make a sign saying I am not homeless or broke just need money to hunt then go stand on a corner somewhere. Who knows it might work.

I was successful this weekend with my first build, that I did the build a long on, taking a nice size doe. I had a problem earlier in the season with the cap not going off. I went to a hot shot nipple and put a new mainspring in the used lock which worked perfectly. Feeling blessedView attachment 53160

I think I missed something; what is the gun? I thought I recognized it but there are details that I don't recognize. Great job in any event. Polecat
