Assembling this gun today. Doing final work on the trigger block.

This is an old order, and Mr. Butler has been a friend to extend his patience so long. I appreciate it.

Had a go around with pain meds lately. Has caused a lot of problems. But - I think it's improved now. All this stuff is pretty powerful. When it's out of balance, it's no picnic. All the while, I'm working and making sure standards are met.

This is going to be a fine pc. Should have the action firing in a couple/few days. It's all blued. Still is a time consuming pc. to put together. I'll chronicle with pics.

Getting some dinner now. Might get a few pics afterwards.

Have the levers heat treated. Can assemble the trigger block tomorrow.

Gary

Yeah man . . . Bisons have that "Barnes" look for sure. One of my favorite "models."

Hi Jim,

Thanks.

Worked all day, on the trigger block "stuff" inside. Always takes longer than I want it to. Always turns out nice.

Slower today than I'd like. Dragging a shoulder. Doc tomorrow for that.

We'll get it shooting soon.

Neat photo layout! Why all the erasers? You don't make mistakes, do you?

When I look closely, I can see you sneaking up for the pic.

Thanks for sharing,

Kent

Good one. hahaha. Yes ... takes quite a few pink pet errasers to correct a badly machined part! hahah.

"When I look closely, I can see you sneaking up for the pic."

I saw that as well.

Those Bisons are amazing pieces.

Worked all day on the bluing session parts. Valve inserts today. Ranger, Delta, Woodsman, etc. mPushing the group along.

No wonder your shoulder hurts, if you've been doing all your polishing with a pink eraser.

Got all the internal levers, springs, connectors, etc., built and installed. These always take longer than it appears. Keeping it all thin and neat is more work.

I see what you mean by "thin and neat". Very nice! Easy for us to ignore the workings hidden away in there.
Cheers

stunning ,,, both visually and technically , i love the texture , it looks so spectacular against the mirror sheen .

Thanks Tom.

I was thinking of you this morning! You must have heard me ... haha. I was wondering where you'd been. Good to see you are still at large! haha.

Gary
