IMP-MOD hit the nail on the head Mr. Glenn. I guess I should have approached the question that way --- I have in the past. Steve Meyers, a friend of eightbore and I had the very same conversation and Steve wound up sending me numerous pages of pictures of dogs, pheasants & etc. showing me what really tripped his trigger. After hashing it over, we came to a conclusion about how the gun should come out. The sooner you can get a handle on what YOU consider the ideal looking gun should look like (in your minds eye) , the better. As I told you, once you have this step figgured out, let it cool for a few weeks without looking at what you have put together. Then, go back and review same to insure it IS what you really want. If all is still good, we're off to the races. ken
