    Les the gunmetal is my favourite in the bolt actions and that Elk matches perfectly with it

    WOW great job Les

    that would have taken a bit of work with the marrow exposed on all sides, its a wonder it held on the tube

    the finished product is well worth it though

    all the best

    To make sure the tube is well anchored I saturate the blank with Thin CA after the tube is installed.

    Worth every detailed minute Les this one is right out of the normal into the best mind you separating normal and best in your work is difficult at the best of times.

    Always look forward to your next pen.

    All the best for the festive season mate.

    Kind regards Peter.
