They're there to remind me what a bad mofo I am. Actually, they're pretty useless, all they do is collect dust and lead me into smacking my knee... if I'm lucky, it's just my knee.

Not too much overkill when the front end looks like this: Red Cedar on the base, Persimmon for the cradles. I tanned a liberal's azz for the leather trim. I am..........disturbed.

There is also a FM on the High Wall in the second picture. It is a .40-.38-55 muzzle loading cartridge gun. .50 front end with tools: Now you know why the cradle is, uh, substantial in dimensions.

Still works just fine, though it gets used a lot less as I learned here that there really is no downside to cleaning far less often. PSA. Don't use it as a shooting rest with a 300 Win. Mag.
