When the file hits the annealed metal, good things are happening. Yeehaw is what they would say down in my neck of the woods.

Looking good Roger. Once you see it moving along at a good clip you will be like Fox drooling over a fat rabbit headed his way.

Some of that metal to metal fitting is astounding.

Agree Bill, Dan Rossiter sure knows how to run a file.

Upon reflection, I am glad this project has taken so long.
I have had the chance to see so many other project guns that it has enabled me to refine my tastes and get a feel for what I really want.

Roger, has he already fit both barrels to the frame?

I'm not sure.
He is going to give me frequent updates from now on so I will be checking on that.

This is like following a young puppy that was just born and watching it develop and change over the next several weeks. Dan can run a file for sure. Takes a ton of talent to do that.

ROMAC...the wait will be with it. Looks like a beutiful start! I went through the whole thread. I didn't know Dan was so young. I assumed he was an older gent given all the rave reviews I hear about on his projects.

Believe Dan is 35. He's going to be around for a long time. Was accepted into the American Custom Gunmakers Guild in January of this year as a stockmaker.

If you wished I don't see why you couldn't make both barrels balance at the same point. Especially if the 28" has a semi-beavertail forearm with its own iron and the 30" has a splinter with its own iron. It might take some additional weight in the forearm and butt stock but I don't think it would be substantial.
