    This is the 1885 Low wall action with a wooden octagonal barrel fitted so that the main spring could be installed to be able to test the full function of the action. And especially the single set trigger.

    And this is the full mock up of where its all going to.
    Octagonal 25" barrel.
    The PVC pipe is a mock up of a WM Malcolm 6x telescope sight which is 18" x 3/4" tube in exterior adjustable mounts.
    The macro stock mock up was so I could work out how far to lift the cheek piece up to be able to see through the scope without the head floating around. And also I haven't made a complete walnut gun stock in ages and though it might be good practice to rough one up out of some off cuts before cutting into the walnut.

    I'm practicing slow rust bluing on a couple of less valuable projects at the moment and should be up to speed when the 1885 gets back from the Gunsmith's.
    Wouldn't want to make a mess of this one !
