   Armin:

   Thanks.

   I made the nosecap and trigger guard, and shaped the stock. The lock and barrel were off the shelf.

   I would give the workmanship on the pistol about a "C".  it was one of my first attempts.

   I am going to take some pictures of a pair of rifles I made for a U of Ill. professor a few years ago. The wood was absolutely the best curly maple I have ever come across.  There was 420 curls in the maple from the buttplate to the nosecap.

   Don:

   The name doesnt ring a bell, but I do go to some shoots near Sullivan, Il. which is near Effingham. I bet he knows some of the guys at that club.  Ask him if he knows Rick Montague, Rod Newberry, Steve Wood,  some of the nicest guys I have personally met.
