	John a very Beautiful rifle indeed and one built by one of the top ACGG Gunsmiths in the Nation also makes it a very special rilfe in its own right for one to own. Congratulations and I am sure it will shoot just as well as it looks. JLouis

	Doggone, even it that thing can't shoot it'd be something just to look at. That wood is one helluva nice chunk.

	John: Love the looks of the rifle. Looks pretty fine and I am sure she will shoot. Congratulations to mom on her young one and her new rifle as well. Hope Gabbi can shoot the second relay while you baby sit. Your young one will have to catch up. Colleen is already training her daughter. Colleen's kids already have a .32 RKS Yost and a BSA Martini International MKII. Time to start building another one. Dave

	Joe, Is that a dark walnut or has it beem stained? The figure is stunning! I've seen some maple that looks like that when stained with a darker finish, but it's hard to tell in the picture. Bruce

	Joe, it's hot down here, I have old dirty guns, and my feet hurt. Have you checked the weather in Spokane? The action (I believe) is a #5 Pacific, the breech block appears to be original, but has no numbers.

	John & Joe: That HighWall would be safer in Canada. We have much lower crime here; plus I hear there are unsavoury charachters in Arco. I have been trained to properly caress a HighWall. Dave

	Appears to me that it normally nests in the lower half and is set in the upper half for access of the lower compartment as shown in this image. However, if I attempted to use it in such manner, without fail the first item removed from the lower compartment would alter the balance enough for the whole works to tip over backwards, thus insuring the contents being scrambled better than a five minute session in a paint shaker. Hayface Wow, what a rifle!

That's the first I've ever heard of a Ballard breech block not having serial numbers on the tail.

	The tail of those blocks appear to be reshaped. I'm guessing they didn't match so someone ground the mismatched numbers off.
