I reached a milestone last night in my attempt to build a Fowler! It’s now officially a gun that could shoot! Lots of finish work to do and a few mistakes to fix but “It’s Alive!!”
It’s a gun!

Wish my bench was that clean.
Looking good. And, you have a much used shop.

Yep, looks like a gun! And a fine one at that!
Very nice! What kind of vise is that?
That's a pattern maker's vise.
Pattern Maker's or Gunsmith vise

Thanks all ! I still need to do a lot of wood removal on the stock and a couple of mistakes to fix.
grenadier1758 nailed it pattern makers vise from Woodcraft. Its Probably one of the handiest tools in the shop!

I agree that vise is the most useful tool in the shop. Didn't have it for my first build, but used it for my second. I am sure it saved several hours and definitely far more convienent not having to shim a rifle stock in a standard vise.
Ahh another left hand. Looks like places that offer LH parts are selling them at a pretty good rate.
