I've always enjoyed Michael Petrov's work... his two books were, along with Monte Manderino's friendship, instrumental in my current custom rifle addiction. Seeing Michael's gun rack inventory was impressive... visiting Monte's shop the first time, left me in absolute awe. Over the last several years, I've been fortunate to visit some of my friends "gun rooms"... here are a few pics of a friend in Oregon's that I stayed with in August... he & his wife are very unassuming, soft spoken and just a great guy to be around... when he showed me his "collection", I was dumbfounded... rows of "mint" rifles... then he started opening drawers... each was custom fit, lined and were full with stunning Colts and Smith & Wesson pistols... it was a wonderful experience...
