Gary, it looks like you're having a devil of a time with your photography. Could I offer a suggestion? Wait for a bright sunny mid-day and take the pics outside with the flash off. Its really hard to get good exposure inside unless you have very bright lighting (and then your white balance has to be right so things don't look yellow.) or unless your camera has some adjustability and you really know how to use it. I've seen Treebone's work, and would love to see a pic of the whole rifle (nice carpeting, by the way!

Hope this helps. Camera's are finicky devices.

lol, thanks for the kind words about the carpeting. my wife works overtime keeping it up. yeah, thats what i was thinking, i need to take it outside as these photos dont let anyone see how it really looks. ill try again by the end of the week.

I actually get better detail, outside, but on a bright overcast/gray day - as full sunlight throws shadows & unwanted reflections.
