    These are fantastic to say the least! Have you done any lever action repeaters, Winchesters/Marlins?

    No, but I can't explain why, should be doable, most of the "most wanted guns" where being made before electric power was available, the Henry would be a good place to start. A few good books would help, save a lot of tears. The single shot people are blessed with De Hass's books, I have a few on 1885s by Campbell that really helped. There was a guy in Texas, Bud I think, from Tools International, that had a lot of prints, and some butt plate and lever castings that came in handy, any thing else was so so. I have done a few modern pieces, but my heart wasn't in it. Bill T

    I know what you mean there because nothing beats the original single shots, I have always been partial to the 1885s and that's why I chose that design.

    Yes, and these were done while licensed and have all the taxes paid and registered, still not done with the final design so I did not post the internals, thanks, Bill T.
