Well, a new repro of just that lock from L&R looks like goes for $155... First question is, what are they asking? Second, how much do you like it?Any ideas what we have here. Barrel is rifled and bore is very good just full of spider stuff and light surface rust. How much should I offer??

Wow! That is great work. I love goo... great beadwork. The other PolecatI saw this pattern and sketched it out and put it in my project pile a while back. After making a few changes to the pattern I made myself this pouch. The beadwork is lazy stitched on deer using number 10 beads.

tried working on my cherry build. Learned one shouldn't shape cheek panels while grieving.
my #2 nephew, my oldest brothers second son died in his sleep night before last. 63 years old.
i guess i couldn't see what i was doing so will have to figure out how to save this stock.
length matches the lock inlet but just got too high with the bottom line trying to straighten it out.
maybe cover it with carving to hide the screw up?
