Getting finished after ordering the parts last fall. Seems no one is making fast twist (1 in 18) 45 caliber barrels right now and I found one from an old guy in WI, thanks a million Emery! There are 15 coats of clear lacquer on the wood right now so I'll shoot it tomorrow and let the finish set for a week or two, sand the hell out of it then shoot another 8 or 10 coats. The barrel and action finish took 3 coats of Oxpho Blue and came out nice and even.
