    All very nice (despite your MOP woes), and I like your scale design for the Peerless -- reminiscent of the gunstock pattern, but yours flow better and look more natural.

    I love the scales, Peter. What did you use for pinning? These look MASSIVE lol. The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to give pop rivets a try and the smallest I've seen available locally are 1/8".

    Nice work, Peter. I can relate to the amount of work it took to put all those pieces together. Especially if you got all those lines to match up with the opposite scale after it was put together.
    My favorite is the peerless. It has nice lines. Keep up the good work.

    the peerless was pinned with 0size washers the joseph rodgers was pinned with old bullseye steel washers from a W&B
    and the magnetic was done with pop rivets
    Kind regards Peter

    Peter...

    Having everything line up is a true test of craftsmanship. Congratulations on meeting a very difficult qualification standard. Well done...
