Hi HPD , Great to hear from Ya. Sorry for the delay, have gotten side tracked by a Hawken .54 cal. project , just about done with that Beauty of a Beast! I did get the 50/95 wcf barrel in from Bob. and its as slick as a whistle. The bore is hand cut , and smooth . No tool marks , should be a shooter. The roll markings are excellent , and the outer polish is ready for blueing. I had mine shiped in the white . I want to do the finish work myself and try to match the look of the old rifle. One other thing is I had Bob make this barrel up as a short rifle / and changed from my original order of 26" to 24" also. With the shorter forearm and 24" barrel , it should be a Dandy to point and swing. Looking at the work done by Winchesterbarrels , I have no doubt that this one will be a shooter. I will get started on the barrel and forearm installation in a few wks. As soon as I can get over this Hawken infection. Looks like its going to be a summer project. I will post a pic. or two of the barrel if you would like. PS the wait was a bit long but aint all good craftsmam worth waiting for. Hope your project is comming along well. Thanks for your interest.,,,,,DT Ron Wehmeyer
