Steve has spent over a year working to produce this barrel. He has invested large sums in obtaining the correct tools. The learning curve is very steep. Especially for some one working alone. Unlike the classic makers, he did NOT have a master with 30+ years of experience to guide him.

He is only the second American that I can confirm that is capable of producing a barrel that retains all the elements of the classic makers. Worldwide, there less than 10 men who can pull this off. The rest are in Europe.

Hopefully, given time, he can attain production capabilities.
