Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

That looks sick! What's the polished piece on the lower left of the filler panel?

You sure it won't be finished for the Brothers show? What all remains to be done?

No not the wrong work!!!! just missing the logo.

I would have made the logo half the size so it stayed inside the laminated portion, but that is just me.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Eric the only option I would consider is hinging the center section at the front, NOT the side. At indoor shows you won't really need it, but at outdoor shows it would be sweet if you could expose the beautiful work underneath. The gap required might bug you, but the wow factor would be worth it. Add some LED lighting for cruise nights and BAM, she blows them away at night too.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Oh yeah, I really love the rifle being a shooter myself. I'm glad such things as your AR wasn't outlawed just because of how they looked! But sadly, I know they won't stop trying. An unarmed nation is a controlled nation and certainly not a free nation!

Just sayin'

Cool looking gun, Eric.

I didn't think you could have those evil, dangerous things in Kalifornia.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Is that gold leaf in the lettering? That's awesome! Love the rifle too. 10 rounds isn't much, but I bet it would be fun.
