As usual, a functional piece of art. I like the mauser bolt stop and the removal of the cocking piece. You are very skilled as well as being creative.

Your photography may need a little work but the rest doesn't, and I think the photos are pretty darn nice actually.
Did you do the engraving? I like it very much.

As one who finds the magazine cut-off and cocking knob on an '03 to be a couple of the quirky little endearing qualities of the rifle, I must say I do like this example even without those features. A quality job of work speaks for itself, and this one is well heard!

The engraving was done by Charles Lee before he moved back to the UK. I miss working with him already, Steve

I can see why. I have no expertise or special abilities to judge but I can see that is done very well.

It is a beautiful rifle but I would never, ever call an'03 Springfield a "pig's ear."
