My 'Holy Grail' is to shoot 10 shot 'X' ring groups at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards with a 45/90 Sharps Borchardt replica made with my own hands. Somehow I think I may die of old age before that happens, but I will give it my best shot. lol.

Hello Michael,

The work is progressing albeit slowly, I took the ends off two of the fingers on my right hand, with a vegetable slicing mandolin of all things, it's taken some months for them to heal up and the nerve andings still scream.

Now Autumn is here my Arthritis is playing up. That also slows me down. I've just made several coils springs for the sear and safety plungers and three firing pin springs. Quite interesting work making the tools to form the springs, but difficult to get things right first time due to the 'spring tension' in the piano wire.

Given a mild winter I may be well on the way to getting it finished by next Spring.

Regards,

Harry

Bill, I guess "good" is a relative thing, but I sure wish I had bought one of the Model 99PE Presentation Grade rifles back in '68/'70 when they were made. Especially in .284 Win.
