Very nice Lee!!!!
Will you have this one in Reno?

Looks great Lee!

Interestingly, my first thought looking at the images was that the color was a lighting issue and could be fixed in Photoshop. I guess we're just not used to seeing brass framed guns these days.

Andrew Biggs · Nov 20, 2009

Looks great as usual Lee

So where is the deep releif Mountain sheep???

Cheers

Man thats sweet Lee i like it alot.

Ron Smith · Nov 20, 2009

Interesting subject and excellent execution.

Was the brass a bit slippery? Sometimes these castings can be buggars. Sometimes they can be gummy. How did it cut, Lee?

Lee,

A masterpiece of design and execution!!!

I must ask if the Henry rifle is an original or a Uberti. It seems like today even the roughest, beat up wreck of a Henry is too valuable to upgrade and the purist collectors hate to see even the sorriest specimen altered. On the other hand if it is a Uberti...Well I upgraded my Uberti 1866 well beyond the point where I could sell it for the time I have in it and it can't compare with what you have done here. None of this has anything to do with my admiration for your work. Just curious.

Thanks for showing and it was a treat to meet you at the Grand Masters weekend.

Lee, This design to me is wonderfull, because you have captured the essence of the traditional designs used but yet its not original at all. I know that sounds a bit strange but I think or hope you know what I mean. I really like what you have done here great job as usual my friend Chris

ddushane · Nov 20, 2009

I really like the design too, I love the way the scrolls wrap around the border. Every part of it looks beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic as always, Lee. Another masterpiece in the making.
Love it all, but the scene work behind the buildings and the crisp border really catch my eye.
Like others have said, hope it makes it to Reno.
Best.

Slow down Lee, you are getting ahead of US!

richard hall · Nov 20, 2009

Great work Lee. There is something about the old lever designs that bring out the best in a man.Your engraving fits this receiver perfectly.
It was my pleasure to meet you in Emporia.
Have a great day

Lee, Fantastic work!

What do you mean when you say the brass was "interesting" to work with? I have a cast brass frame I want to start scratching in the near future, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
