One of the great things about being in this business is the opportunity to learn new things. After 25 years of stockmaking it is great to learn new things from others. No joke! I appreciate the things shared here and elsewhere. I think it is interesting that it took this long to see in print somewhere to buy plugs. It may have been "common knowledge" but it was new to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
The sharing of knowledge is one of the reasons that I enjoy being a member of the ACGG. The knowledge learned the hard way by others is practical and profitable when shared. I believe most who practice the trade of gunsmithing strive to do work at a different level. Art and craft are combined in the job dicription as well as the desire to get paid for having fun. I wish to publically thank David Trevallion and his generation of gunsmiths for sharing their hard learned lessons. Historically ,we who came after had to learn for ourselves what they already knew. I really dislike learning from mistakes. But I do.
