Tim, thanks for the note. It is a fantastic demonstration of gunmaking skills, but much like the 14 caliber minimauser (mouser?) in the Minneapolis Art Museum show, it just doesn't hit my buttons. Everyone has their own interests and preferences though and that keeps it all interesting.

Some of the most beautiful rifles I've seen in pictures have been posted here by Michael. They are not only exquisitly executed but they, in no way, sacrifice function. And that, to me, is ultimate beauty.

I can appreciate that immense amounts of time and ability went into that gun. But for me, it has to shoot. A lot.

I guess I'm just a curmudgeon though.
