	They look great to me. Can't wait to see the completed rifle. Glad you finally received everything.

	Accepted on the 20th and delivered on the 29th. I wish I could get stuff delivered so quickly. My last 3 Priority shipments have been 11 days, 10 days, and 14 days. Congratulations

	Here in West MI the Grand Rapid papers are writing that the USPS is broken. That state reps are pushing on them in Washington along with a dozen or more other states asking what is wrong. Here in Western, MI our deliveries are every other day at best but my regular mail including bills, medical, mags etc. are bottled up. The consensus here in Michigan is it takes about two weeks to get your mail. Rick

	Reassembled the Ballard with the parts from Al. Still need to put maybe 10 coats of finish on the forearm before it matches the stock finish. But had to see how it looks all together! (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) The .40-50SS Schoyen barrel had a wide dovetail ahead of the forearm likely for some sort of built in rest? I need to design and build something to fit this dovetail so the fugly filler can be removed. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	How did you find such a neat rifle Vall, Oh yeah.... I saw it first on eBay and notified you. Quite the adventure to get all the parts. It turned out great. UPS must have more aerodynamic vehicles that can cut through the headwind better. My 20x Super Targetspot scope left Cody Wyoming on Tuesday and showed up this morning.

They used that super aerodynamic vehicle to get to Montana, but it must have been down for repairs when the parts came back!
