Thanks for all the pictures, the closeups are particularly interesting. Very nice rifle.

Interesting the front of the guard appears to be radiused to follow the contour of the forend as well as the stock profile at the magazine box. All blended without flat surfaces. Must be a delight to carry in the hand.

Steve, I bid seriously on this rifle and since it went elsewhere, I've decided to just build a replica. Your photos of the details are very helpful. I have a suitable action and bottom metal. I'll settle for sights on the barrel and live without the takedown feature. If you have any other pictures, I hope you'll post then.

Bill,
I missed you at the Colorado Collectors show this year. It was a good time and a very decent show, lots of buying and selling this year.
I still have the rifle in my possession. What would you like pictures of?

Steve,I'm glad to hear the show was good. We didn't do anything last year but had the worst possible table location.As for photos I'd like to see how the side panels fare into to stock around the magazine and floorplate. The other detail that doesn't come through very well is the checkering pattern on the forearm. Thanks very much.

If you're curious to know where the shape of the stock panels come from, just look at Fraser's single shot. All those lines are there in just slightly different form. It's a transfer of their signature details to another product.

 Sorry to say the rifle got away before I was able to take any more pictures. This photo shows the checkering.

SKB, Thanks for another shot. I have a barreled action in the wood now and hope to have a buttplate and grip cap on today. I've been pondering the best way to make that nice Fraser front sight. I think those curved, sloping sides will take a special cutter. Suggestions welcome.
