	That's why I just can't understand the modern obsession with plastic stocks. GW

	A rifle that looks that good might turn a fellow into a Rolling Block fan if he weren't one already. Pretty slick, I think. But, ya gotta clock the screws.........................

	Well I surely love that wood Joe! But then I love the whole gun as well! I want to build up a couple more Rolling Block actions I have here, and hope I can find someone to correctly bend the lower tang, or possibly locate a pistol grip lower tang to swap into one of them! Still don't have a #1 Roller in pistol grip, and yours is perfect!

	Well, I know what ya mean about the weather making things tough. We can't get to the range because of a road that's washed out. And, the places out in the hills are probably treacherous and to be avoided. I have a coupe new things to try myself, but not as nice as the rolling block. Probably sharing the same storms so we'll get out about the same time. Still like that doggone wood- and what's attached to it. Never mind the screws, they don't matter to real gun lovers.

	Well you could shrink the barrel by tossing it out in that pile of snow, but I don't know what to do with the chamber- electric heater?

	She's a mighty fine specimen there pardner, flawlessly classic, a case study in execution, a joy to behold! It's everything a #1 Roller should be, nicely done dad! John

	Mighty pretty piece of wood and rifle. If you don't mind my .02, the type of steel, cutting oil / lube / coolant, and temperature of the material at the time of reaming can make a big difference in the finished size of chambers cut with the same reamer. I don't know how far off yours is, but if it was mine and I was sure of the reamer, I wouldn't hesitate reaming it again. It only takes a miniscule amount to make a notable difference when dealing with tapers. What is this sun thing you speak of? Hayface

	How was the stock finished?? It seems perfect to me, pores all filled and the satin sheen turns into a deep 3-d when the light changes. I'd like to know how to do that!

	Don't you just love nice wood? I wish all my rifles had as nice a stock as my old Martini. I could never understand the modern obsession with plastic either... (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
