Well, I guess Tom beat me to it and showed you guys the Featherbed pic :-)
Seriously, how well that frame is made cannot be conveyed via my grainy phone camera. The one we plopped the motor into had already been powder-coated, simply superb, show-quality finish.
Many thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support.
If anyone is interested in building a Musket, please let me know, I'm hoping to be busy this winter!
Very best wishes,
Aniket
