Sorry for all the questions, but you know that I am interested in this stuff & the lore.

BTW, for others who may also be interested in the rifles of recent old and their builders .. I have found Michael's recent book most interesting and will own up to having read it more than just once. His approach is straight forward, unpretentious and genuinely interesting. I'd bet there are at least one or more members here who might add a bit of knowledge about some of the builders mentioned in it. Its a bolt gun book mostly, "Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century.
