I love that shotgun Richard. It's nice to revisit it here.

I miss the days when you were completing a new kit gun once a week. I was living vicariously through your endeavors!
I think many of us were.

Not a great picture (was trying to do too much!) but some of my Rollers. Obviously not taken lately as we had 2-1/2" of snow yesterday.

Hi Fingers, nice photo, but that brass needs to be polished. lol I did a tour in the Navy where every piece of brass needed to be kept polished. Yeah, I'm weird.

Richard

No, that modification was done by Lone Star Rifles. I posted more pictures in the Smokeless Single Shot thread.
