Getting ready to start SPEC P10, The Virginian.....
Bill Calfee's wish was for the Virginian to have a Broughton 4C.......I'll be lapping next week.
Sure would like to see the lapping process. It amazes me that it’s even possible to work inside such a small space.

Well done Jeff!THE VIRGINIAN
Bill would demand a teardrop.......
Today I formed the original bolt handle into a teardrop......or as close as I can. Due to the size of the thread & base on the handle, you cannot get the handle portion just before the knob any smaller or it wouldn't match up.
This is very close to the teardrop that Bill made for Waltzing Matilda.

Merry Christmas my friend....to you and yours! Tell Scott Kiddle, I said Merry Christmas.
