Steve, you do exemplary work, simply a beautifully crafted rifle and gorgeous to look at. I myself have a weird relationship with brass. If it's on a gun of mine it's got to be "distressed", calmed down, darkened, whatever you want to call it just not shiney like a flippin' doorknob.
I've always like a gun with all iron furniture.
Do you build guns for yourself or to sell, if I may ask?
