Well, I am unsure if I am correct here, but I looked at the prices they were asking and they were higher then what I charge for a hand made 8 bore or 4 bore rifle. If the Rand VS Dollar is what I think it is, they are not very inexpensive.
Maybe I am wrong here. I was not able to check their prices myself. I could not get the web site to work on my computer. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I find that 62, 66 and 72 caliber rifles are the most popular. These rifles don’t kick very much, and are easy to carry and shoot . 8 Bores are bigger, but still not bad to shoot. I sight in my rifles up to 8 bore before I ship them out.
4 bores hurt me. (I have never fired a 2 bore, and I never will.)
I build them, but I no longer sight them in. For customers that want one, I leave the front sights tall, and let them do the file work to bring it in. Then if they want a bead, they can return the barrel to me and I will install a bead at the same height they have it sighted for, at no charge
Yeah and he's run out of friends that will volunteer, and permanantly damaged to many apprentices to get them to do it for him. He's even tried bribery of children. Or at least he tried to bribe my children into doing it.
