Very cool. One of these days I'm gonna find me a maker to make a Davis call to his specs and with the infamous carrying tube. Basically an exact replica

Interesting you/he used a .257 Roberts casing, any significance to that or just because the 6.5mm fit the wing bone right? Or was it because it's age appropriate, the Robert's being developed in the 1920s from the great Mauser cartridge
I used what Davis had listed in his vague instructions. He also listed a couple of 30 caliber shells if the 257 wasn't available.

Seth Hamon is the only one that I know of at this time who's going to do a limited run. You will be able to buy it with or without the tube.

I'm going to make a bamboo tube for it and not mess with the Davis tube.

Mr. Davis made his with a .257 Roberts, so if you are going to make a true copy that's what you need to use.

That's a neat looking one, would love to hear it.
