Thanks Barry- more like the places I've seen as a retired (now) welder-welding got it's roots from the blacksmiths-same distinguished gent " A la Don Ernesto" and a handsome Springer Spaniel guarding his master's domain- Man's best friend- won't sully your good name, pick your pocket or steal your lady-Leonard Mews supposedly custom stocked my "pet" Sako in a Bishop Calif. Claro rollovercheck piece stock- thumbhole grip, Wundhammer palm swell, fits me like an Armani suit-rifle is Acra-Glas bedded, has the older Pachmayr recessed QD's and a black thinline pad- Timney trigger- glad we can appreciate fine rifles and the men who crafted them- years ago, and today-even on a shotgun forum-I appreciate fine shotguns, but where and how I hunt waterfowl gets a bit "down and dirty" so a fine custom double (as for quail or dove hunting) isn't my choice- but for varmint shooting- well like duck hunting- lotsa waiting and watching- and in "less hostile" environments, so appreciating a finely crafted rifle you have in your hands is the best of both worlds- Bless you and the other brothers in your Guild- for keeping the lamp lit for artisans present and future- RWTF

Murphy...MyOld workmate Ken Hunt...Quite a story about the Engraving...The "Then Trouble & Strife"(Wife, for folks who dont talk London.)Gave Ken a Photo of a Friend from Chicago's Drathaur(sp),which he Engraved on the left side, and I thought a "Flock?" of Eng. Woodies Flighting over a Pea Field, would look just 'Right"...John Amber pictured it in the ????? Gun Digest. I built the stock and the Oversized Forend from M.Tyessiers Best French Walnut,Stock Blank and Forend wood cost in 1967 $56.00.Ken vowed never to engrave another Winchester Mod. 12 after he finished that one!! (I dont think he ever has!) Larry Wilson has some excellent B&W Photos in his 1st Winchester Engraved Guns & Rifles.I had to sell it due to pressing Lawyers Fees in the Divorce!!Have always wondered if its still going around???cc/dt

J.O.K. from Cal...I know the "Ex" is....Its the Winchester Mod. 12 that I would like to "Hear From". It was at the Vegas Gun-Show (So I was told) around 1979-1980..(Wish the London,Eng. wood dealers still had Good French Walnut for $35.00 a Blank!!!

DT, my "Drat" has made it clear that she doesn't want to be on any pump gun, even though I have been shooting them for years. Let me know if you hear any more about that gun. I remember the Amber picture, but I'm not going to go looking for it. By the way, the last Joe Knapp Club gun I found is a P gun. Let me know if you run across it. I am trying to track it down myself. Murphy
