Your Dad built a mighty fine rifle! Mine is engraved, did he do any engraving?
I bought mine from the estate of a gentleman who had beautiful rifles built but NEVER shot any of them! It was absolutely Mint. In fact ,he was not even a shooter...just a collector. Mine had never even had the plug screws removed from the scope mounting holes. BTW where did the Kess name come from? How and When did they start? Did your Dad mark his work? Again you should be very proud of his work! Warmest Regards Jerry
