VERY NICE Greg,
I'n not much of a fan of unstained maple but your stock achitecture is lovely.

Although I don't believe I've ever seen one, years ago C. Sharps Arms advertised new threaded octagon Ruger #3 barrels in .38, .40, and .45 caliber. Always thought it would be a good way to go and even did some drawings, but never had the project to go along with.
