That's a really sweet looking 12b SxS rifle.
I can't wait till you get it running and realize it's just not the thing for you -- and that you need to sell it to me

Really though, I'll be thilled to see it up on it's own and out hunting like it should be. That rifle will be great on deer!
With the short cases you'll be getting much more than plenty of velocity and energy to handle game you'd be able to keep in it's sights.

Are there any proof marks on those barrel flats or action flats?
Is that notch in the rib extension the only locking lug?


Get that thing together Gramps!
Let me know how you're doing on your brass efforts too.
