Well, it's complete. I like it. Hope you enjoy seeing it. 
I can post more pics later, if you want to see any detail I missed.

Gary:
Congratulations on the reveal of this exquisite rifle. For me this one was one of the most expected, because you kept showing parts here and there and raising the expectations.
I like the contrast between the receiver color, the brass patina and the stock.
The T. Wolf is a nice classic looking rifle that will be a great addition to the collection of any air gunner. Also it combines the characteristics of a hunting rifle.
I really hope that this rifle doesn’t disappear and that we continue to see stories in this forum in where it represents the main role.

Yeah - a lot of people threw up on their shoes when I showed the brass sleeve system. That's the risk (and beauty) of showing pics along the way. Of course, everybody knows that a long rifle should have a nice octagon barrel about an inch and a half across the flats ... 
Well, since "the rest of the parts" of a Kentucky amount to a half oz. lock and weightless brass trigger ... that works. An airgun has a few more parts ya know ... 
So - to get a more stout barrel, and to provide solid anchor points for traditional sights and antique scope mounts, I went this route. Knowing that I was going to tone it down with the patina.
Maybe a nice one inch bore, as you suggest, would solve the big barrel look. haha. And, if we burn heliun as Allen has shown us the way ... we ought to get some broken shoulders out of the deal ... 'fer sur!
Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.

I'm very relieved Lon. I'd hate to have to destroy yet another completed airgun, because it didn't suit your tastes ...

Thanks Joe,

Marmite [en.wikipedia.org] is a sort of food-like substance purported to be edible by people of British / colonial extraction. The taste is not unlike sucking on a beef boullion cube that's been dipped in asphalt, though opinions vary. It should probably fall under the category of "cruel food tricks to play on tourists", but apparently some people actually LIKE the stuff.
On the positive side though, it's still better than Vegemite.

Is that a shroud? I missed the explanation if you posted one.

That is a classic, Gary!
I missed reading it somewhere along the line, what caliber is it?
Cheers

Hi Danny,
Same as any PCP ever built. They're all tunable. Run them hotter - less shots. Run them softer - more shots. Add a bigger/heavier reservoir ... more shots either way. It's all physics and it depends upon what a customer thinks is important to them.

Page 22 or so IIRC
Add this one to the mix to show the gun again. I like it.
