The client was pleased with the job and wants more done when I have the time. I changed a few things around from the pattern you saw. We're actually going to Elk hunt this year together with our old Winchesters up near Monarch Pass. He might even drive up to Denver to say HI and see the show.

I traded for this pretty little lever 472 Mossburg 30/30 saddle lever the other day and cant decide what it should look like. It's going to end up on the ranch down in westcliff as a back up piece. Yotes are getting to be a real problem again but night work is getting a little hairy as the mountain lions come in for the calls too. They have been screwing with the horses and I figure they would screw with me too - had a bear come through the other night and raise a rukus but I just stay inside when they play!
Anyway have you ever cut one of these. It's a differnt look than any lever I have ever seen. Blue black wood finish and a real deep blue black finish on the metal. I don't even know if I can find a blue to match it. Not sure whats underneath. For all I know it could have been made out of recycled beer cans.
I plan on doing a bit of high relief carving on it and was leaning towards an oakleaf pattern but wanted to keep it in a design that was consistant with the year and make. Any suggestions, clues or things to look out for on this gun?
Correct me if I am wrong - I think we talked on the phone a year ago and you were limited in traveling because of wife's health issues? Hope has resolved. If I have you mixed up with someone else thats not unusual!
Never worked on one of those rifles..seems to look like a Marlin but not quite....I would guess it should cut OK but no guarantees...give it a try.
You might have me mixed up with somebody else. I don't think we have spoken before..but who can remember.
