Keith, Doug talked to me about the difficulty of dealing with the dents so close to the rib. As well as how slow the process had to be by necessity. I am sure there are others who have the knowledge and skill to do this job well, but knowing Doug's outlook, as well as seeing the results of his more standard barrel work, I had the utmost confidence that if they COULD be salvaged, Doug would be able to do it.

Doug, thank you for some incredible work. You know why this gun is important to me and I would have been devastated to find it, only to have had it ruined permanently by shipping.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
