My gunsmith is going really slow with figuring out if he can, or can not finish the gun. He is not going to get the gun in time for when I need it done by. Incase he doesn't get it done I am starting up other projects. Me and my mentor Logan Ruhd are going to be taping and painting one of my guns that I have. I was on a website looking and thinking about ideas for about an hour. The one I think I am going to do is a winter twig template. http://www.houtsenterprises.net/dur_wintertwig.html.

On Satuday, I called Cliff to see if I could come take some pictures of the gun. I went to Castlewood at 2, and took some pictures of the gun. He showed me what he had done to take the gun apart. He said that by the end of the week he was going to have it put back together to see if it is capable of firing. If by the end of the week he gets it working, I will be able to further the process of shining the gun up to make it look good. I am hoping that he gets it done, otherwise I will be coming close to the deadline of the project for me to get it done. When he gets it done he will make a stock for me to engrave to put on the gun. I was at the shop for 3 hours talking about the gun and for him to show me the processes he will be going through with the gun.
