Mr. Lomas;
Jack Rowe related to me in the past about a student of one of the classes he taught, who upon discussing where they lived as a boy discovered (very surprised and happy to learn) that they were only one street apart, although they did not know each other. I seem to recall that he said that student in his class was a qualified engineer who had moved to America as a engineer for a plumbing fixture company, and had later decided to take up gunsmithing. Are you that person?
Kindest Regards;
Bushveld

SDH, I wish I could do some of those little icons. I can hear the voices on Pete's DVD perfectly. Well, about the same as I hear most other things.

I think Jack Rowe's DVD is a great resource for those who want to maintain and repair their own doubles. The disc is well indexed with chapters on specific repairs. I fixed a poorly timed ejector on an AYA by following his instruction and I have very little experience with gun repair. I am also confident in stripping and cleaning my box locks and side locks after watching the video. Just watching his approach and technique in handling the firearms will answer many questions and prevent mistakes that might mar or damage your gun. I have purchased every book I can find on double repair and maintenance. The Jack Rowe DVD is the best resource I have come across to date.

Mr. Lomas;
I must have missed you by one class at Oklahoma. Jack said that your engineering skills were of great advantage to you in taking up the trade, and that you were doing good work. I wish you well.
One one of my most recent trips to England, Jack asked me to bring him back a couple of pounds of his favorite English loose tea, which I did. I can remember the brand, seems like it was Tipps or something like that. He says that tea bags are garbage and likes only loose tea. I don't know if there is much difference--but Jack is certain that there is and that is all that matters.
Kindest Regards;
Bushveld
