Well stated Ken.

I appreciate the significance of using a Lefever. I would hope that is the based on the best design "Uncle Dan" developed, not the 1st.

I like the fact that to a point it is a bespoke gun. I like the fact that I will choose the wood. I like the fact that I will choose the not only the engraving but also the engraver. I like the fact that some of the best in the American gun trade today will have a hand in this. I also am very aware that the men behind this offering have a lot more experience and knowledge than I do. They understand what it will take to bring this gun to market.

I also like the fact that will be certain limits, otherwise the manufacturing costs will run wild. I will happy if it a 20ga or 28ga or 16ga or .... because it will the best that can be produced in America today with a reasonable cost and allows me to have major say regarding the finished appearance.

I want to thank you Ken for coming up with this and moving on with it. As I confirmed with you privately, just let me know where to send the check.
