Congratulations on a nice looking execution. Keep us posted on the final stages of your shapeing and finishing. Remember, your file is as good an "engraver" as a chisel. Go slow and check often on where your file is going. No need to have "free engraving" on your barreled action metalwork because you got in a hurry. OK, experience speaking here. Not fun to repair your mistakes and pay for it in time, money, and frustration afterwards. A word to the wise.
