YES! And I'll add they are as great in person as the pictures indicate. Very nice Chuck!

John, No. 2 is my take on a Farrow type rifle.
No. 4 is a Hepburn, 4340 steel, heat treated and rust blued.
Joe, Hope to shoot at least two of them at Raton.

Chuck,
Besides the legality of it, I don't know anyone that would pay me $75K for the ones I've built, and then I'd only be making about $4.82 per hour

This may be a dumb question but how do you legaly dispose of a homemade gun like this when the time eventualy comes that it has to change hands. I know you can legaly make one for your own use but can't sell it. We all die sooner or later so what then? I occasonaly see a home made gun at gun shows and have always wondered the legality of selling them. Beautiful work ! I admire anyone able to do that kind of work. Wish I had the time, tallent, and eqipment to build something like that.
