The Dakota #10 is a fine rifle. When creating a custom with I have found a variety of alterations I think add to the functionality and esthetic including a new trigger guard that I have had cast in my mold, new trigger that I manufacture, etc, etc. I also reshaped the actions.
The company provided two sets of parts including new breechblocks with the new style less breakable firing pins. They were doing factory conversions at that time.
There are pictures of two or three custom jobs. on my web site.
I've done four complete custom jobs on Dakota #10, one is pictured on the cover and with multiple photos in Custom Rifles in Black & White
