They don't really have a custom shop now but list one on their website. They are so accomidating they will do about anything you ask for and are willing to pay for. Real nice people to deal with.

I don't have the guns where I am at and never bothered to look at them that closely. It sounded early to me but I did not know when the 28's came into production. For that matter I don't remember when the last NY venture failed and was bought out of bankruptcy and restarted in Ohio. It might just have been a gun urban legend or perhaps parts were started in NY and finished in Ohio. I'll take a good look at them when I can get them out without certain boys seeing them.

Either way I bought both for less than I expected, less than what I was willing to pay. Now if Christmas could just get here quickly to see the looks on their faces. Nothing like getting a new gun for Christmas. My first new gun came when I was eleven and it seems like yesterday, well last week at least.
