Mike,
Wise words and for what it is worth, I am happy. Otherwise it would not have followed me home. I didn't have a Newton of any type and while this isn't "original" it strikes me as being representative of what the forum is titled. A classic action with period improvements to produce a "custom" in someones eyes. They can't all be G&H, Owens, etc; but as I said in the "question for all" thread the fun is in the hunt
Thanks
Thaine
