All interesting stuff , I have all the “Gun Digest” but was unaware of the Shelhamer obit, I will look it up, thanks for the alert. Do you ever remember talking with John Amber about an “Accident” in his gun room that involved a pellet rifle and a very historical custom rifle? If so I would like to hear more!
