I’d call you a craftsman of the highest degree!

I think it looks awesome. I happen to like Traditions guns and you made this one look cool. I've never made a rifle but I do make and use my own accoutrements. I don't copy anybody, I make things the way I want them to look. That's what is so cool about your rifle, you made it yours and not like a thousand others. It's as individual and unique as the person who built it and that's what makes it special.

Thanks! That was my goal.

Nah, just a nut with too much free time.

How exactly did you redo the nose cap to allow gluing the two stocks together? Did you entirely hand make a new nose cap? I got one of these kits but there is a significant gap between the stocks

I formed a brass sheet and soldered it to a flat piece. Post #4 shows a closeup of it.
