lee lad, you've succeeded in creating a truly stunning firearm and making a fine thread for us to watch you do it.
Now, for the love of God, don't have any left handed offspring as heirs to this with the side saddle! I'm a lefty and cried a single tear thinking about shouldering this masterpiece. Given the attention to detail we've all seen now, if you were to make rifle barrels, a lot of us would be looking at P.R. COOK many, many times a day while in a hunting blind.
