This finishes the post on page 18, under Stevens, on the 1885 Winchester build, it took a while, thanks for waiting, BT155543155544155545155546It is in 38-55 cal., the receiver was machined from 8620 material, the case hardening was done in a hardwood fire, the wood from a garage sale plank. Thanks again.

That came from Sarco if my memory is correct,but that was a while back and they were only $7 then, and of course I really loaded up and bought two!

Well it was certainly worth the wait!

My latest High Wall project had to go on hold for a while due to other projects and I just recently go started back on it, probably at about the 40% stage at this point. Hopefully before late spring if something else doesn't come up.
