This is where I bought my "kit". They also sell rifles and fowlers on consignment. They are mostly hobbiests and gunsmiths just starting out because they take 20% for a fee.Looking through the kits they offer you can get an idea of the work involved, its quite extensive. Mine shots great, I love shooting it but I don't like looking at it :lol: . http://www.trackofthewolf.com/

The problem is, some guns are way too pretty to hide away in a safe.

Now, one of those would look great mounted over the big stone fireplace in my man cave!
