Ken had a good friend from New York do the little bit of engraving that it has on it. Then he had Doug Turnball do the color casehardening on it.I will post a few pics of it, but I want to get the checkering and finish on it asap. A local guy is doing the checkering, again, nothing fancy, just a good clean checkering, with an oil sheen finish. How the hell is a guy to get any sleep 2 days before picking up such a gun??? Steve what do you think, about another 3 months on the barrel for our project?
