Doug, As I stated before, outstanding. May I ask approximately how long on just the for-end? I know you said you didn't want to remember how long it took for the entire job, but I can't comprehend the workmanship.
To me finishing the wood is one thing, but to do this type of checking that fine is a work of art.
I have seen pictures of high end L.C. Smiths, A3's A2's Monogams with the Fluer De Lis style in 28-32 lpi, done in the 1890's that was incredible for back then. These high end guns, nothing but the highest workers worked on them.
Thanks again for sharing this.
