Talking Shadowbox without gun

I have to show what a friend of mine did for my fathers 60th birthday.
He was a self-taught gunsmith/welder/machinist/carfixer, well you get what i mean.
If it was broken, (what ever) he'd fix it.
I spoke to my friend about a "armourer's workshop" (old school) and this is what she did.
The cartridge is a .50bmg for comparison.


My father died 10th of december 2002 and i miss him so.

The picture does not make it justice.
She made a bench for rifling the barrels, the walls are coverd with muzelloading rifles and blacksmith tools.
And all this made by a woman who never even held a wepon, only seen them on tv.
