Pictures posted for Ponderosa Paul.
Caliber: .25-20 Win. All parts homemade by Paul except the barrel, including the action, tube sight and mounts.
Paul can comment.
Good looking rifle and works well.

Thank you Chuck for posting the pics.This is the first breechloader  that I made using only the patent drawings. It took me several years to build off and on ,part time, overall very enjoyable and  I learned a lot about metalworking. Paul

  That is indeed very nice! The story sure would make a nice series of articles for the Journal. Wink

Ed, that is a tube sight . I`ve read a lot about them and decided to make one. What I like about it is that about all you see through it is the target, so no distractions. I am going to make two scopes that are very similar to the tube sight, one for this rifle and one for my faux side hammer Peabody that I am finishing. Paul.
