My Heart is Pounding!!

[TxHuntermn]

Thanks! It will reside for now, next to my "comfy chair" for a couple of weeks, so i cna fondle and memorize...the gun has nice dimensions, and shoulders nicely....will be a real dilemma trying to decide whether or not to shoot it. Any input or opinion on repairing the rib....with only a short piece loose...does the rib need to be totally re-laid, or are there folks that can repair just the popped up part. Incredible to me that even the silver on the triggers is not really worn, or the checkering on the butt.

I will endeavor to take better pics of the engraving....but what strikes me is the realistic expressions on the dogs faces. Oh....thanks again for any input...thirsty for knowledge!
