Michael,
That is a gorgeous rifle as are all of the rifles that you have posted. That is along the lines of what I would like to do with mine. And I would have to keep the ammo down the street from it.

Jim,
I am not really worried about the rifle blowing up since I will probably never shoot it.
BTW where in North Carolina are you, We are going to Camp Daniel Boone outside of Asheville in june and I am curious what the weather will be like then.
