Art hit it on the head, I was discussing this rifle with a friend and he put it better than I can, "You see, Michael may be gone but he taught us well, didn't he? Here we are discussing a rifle who's unknown maker was dubbed the "S Man" by MP, which would have gone un-noticed had we not been educated in how to recognize the creme-de-la-creme of pre-war custom builders. Therein lies his legacy."
