Stephen- you don't have to take a back seat to anyone here for the quality of your craftsmanship- and your fotos are worth a thousand words-- Joe just likes to "stir things up" a bit-- looks like he got a nice pissing contest a going (at the expense of your thread) with another guy named after a fat piece of Spanish sausage- all this International flavor makes me want to take my 1911 era LC Smith 3E 12 with the straight hand stock, and convert it to a "prisoner of War' style grip- then sit back and watch Steve McQueen shout "Nicht Schiessen" in the super biker movie -The great Escape"- sure wish he had cleared that barbed wire and hit Switzerland-alas--
