Doesn't that outfit, that advertises to have old LC barrels and be able to make Parker barrels, also advertise to have a matting machine? It was the outfit a number of people advised caution in dealing with just a couple weeks ago.

Others have recommended that one needs to proceed cautiously with these folks.

I have a few clients who have dealt with them to their great dissapointment. Have never heard anyone go back to them. FWIW

Andy made and matted a rib for an early "B" grade Fox for me several years ago. I don't know if the equipment is still at his shop or if it's been sold to someone else.

This seems to be the $64000.00 question. What happened to Andy's matting machine? I sure hope Tony Galazan didn't get it! If he did no one will be able to get a rib matted with that machine.

Does anyone know what happened to Andy's equipment?

I know Simmons was trying to buy a machine, and suspected it was Andy's. I thought Galazan had advertised at one time that they had one of the original Win. machines to use on the new Win. 21's they were making.
