Well his website is up and looks all fine and dandy. I did notice that the 45/70 double build was missing the photos ........................... Hmmmm. It's still possible to leave comments on his photo storage site it seems although I didn't try to do so.

Have read the entire thread now and am so saddened. My thoughts on seeing the photos were how dreadful. Mauser416 as already mentioned health comes first. My thoughts and best wishes are with you.

Let's hope that some good can come out of this mess.

Edit:- Just looked at your first post and to my eyes there is no way the barrels you received were the ones in that photo of the gun being tested. No way on Gods earth.
