This is exactly why I posted this thread, to help inspire others to do gun projects.. There is a satisfaction in it that a capable metalsworker shouldn't miss out on...Odd ain'it how many well equipped and talented hobby machinists are out there and such small percentage of'em ever build a gun of any kind.

dtberry, what action are you building in .45-70 ? I am 80% completed building myself a Highwall in .45-70 for BPCR Silhouette competition...It was not easy to decide what action to build, If you can build one you can build any of them ,there is a good number of worthy choices.
