Thanks Colin.

While on it, a list of your Boss project please?

Your firearms projects are on a pharonic scale and timeline!

PS I need some images of your Anderson-Wheeler Mk VII's as well.

I was wondering if they were ever coming, and if A-W was actually turning them out. With the changes there. Stuart telephoned me maybe in January. I only got a message and had not rang back to have a chat. I wondered what was happening at A-W's with the new ownership, plans, new firearms etc. Hopefully all going well. .

Ahmed...what a project.. I am particulary facinated with the 2 .600´s. I wonder if it was Your Purdey .600 I handeled in the long room Autumn 2017..along with a .470 and .375 Flanged..?

I sincerely hope that you will hunt bull elephant with at least one of the .600´s...

The build quality at Purdey´s...well I hunt with an 1896 Purdey game gun..still 100% tight, ejectors throwing 100% alike, etc...it is a privilege to hunt with these weapons..
