	Just got his one at auction for a good price. New"er" Douglas barrel in 38-55, refitted by Lander in New Hampshire. The guys at Doublegun don't seem to think much of him, but we'll see. Wish it was still original, but it should be a fun shooter. I have a nice Junior Targetspot for it, but might go with a Lischert. Aaron

	Extreme Black Leaf. What is that lump on top of the receiver ring?

	thanks John. Joe, my best guess is that it's a rear sight. I don't have the rifle yet, I hope it comes off. Kinda like a wort on the end of ones nose Aaron

	I like it. The black leaf relief style engraving looks European. Looks like they used the military type buttplate, and made a new forearm to fit the rebarrel. If I owned it I'd get a steel forearm tip from Numrich and reshape and fit it to the forearm wood.

	Hi Vall, 3 I'd like to do as you suggest and either change the barrel or it's profile and rust blue. Aaron

I like it too. Rough but very stylish. Similar to the fancy RB on the ASSRA home page. That nob on the receiver ring must be rare. Better leave it there.

Aaron I actually like the full round heavy barrel simply because you don't see this often on Rolling Block Sporting Rifles. I built up a Rolling Block in .40-65 using an original Sporting Rifle action, and a 32" GM full round barrel. One of my favorites simply because of the heavy full round barrel.

	Hi Rebel, I was bidding on that rifle as well but I had to make a choice between several rifles. You got a very nice rifle and you'll be very pleased with the way it shoots. Ed Lander doesn't live to far from me and is now retired. well in his 90's and a WW-II vet and a very interesting fellow. But in the day, he did very good work. Steve

	Hi Arron, Yes I did. A niceRRB No.1 1/2 in 32/20 Needs a little TLC in the stock Department but the price was right. Steve

	Aaron, I'm not normally very fond of much engraving on firearms, but when I saw your rolling block, I fell in love. Lee Gibbs Pres.ASSRA

	Thank you Lee, I'm anxiously waiting and hope it arrives soon. The packaging is already re-purposed for the Winder I recently sold. Aaron
