They look brilliant! How have you made them? Im lucky .... The main stuff was done on a milling machine but then all the parts had to be finished by hand which took ages.... i still have a little bit of finishing up to do on these but really happy with the way they turned out..... from my design to the finished article and the fact they seem to suit the rifle .. just the scope to do now ... pity about the mossberg scope , bit of a disappointment there but hopefully my new plan will work. |

Scope mounts are now completed ..... im happy they sort of look like they are age appropriate .... ive cold blued the mild steel and polished the brass thumb screws hopefully Wild Bill Appproves lol.... now onto the scope , which is proving to be a bit trickier since i cant use the Mossberg scope i first intended.... I have a couple of ideas in mind so hopefully will sort something .     |

I have the scope nearly finished ..... just a few littte finishing touches need doing and then it needs to be fitted to the rifle ... this is about as near as i can get to copying a period scope .... i think it looks ok comsidering so im a happy gunman .... hopefully it will come out ok under the scrutiny of the grest Wild Bill lol

Lovely work!! Can you imagine how much this set up would cost you (if it existed) from a RFD...big money I'd bet.
