Superb work and a great concept. The metal work is fantastic as is the wood working in the case. I love the campaign style trunk, very much like the last 600 Jeffery by H&H. Amazing.

What line of work are you in or were in?

Matt,
I was a land manager for the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for 30 years. Just under 9 years in the USAF before that. Just a loafer now.

Amazing hand skills for someone who has not really worked with their hands for a living, in the sense of not having been a toolmaker or woodworker. Very good work.

Curl,
I turned 72 this year so would fit right in with the pack in your photo. We may be in the lower 48 with a Sprinter van next October so who knows?

It is a great event - lots of fun, and just the right people. This year we had perfect weather.

I have an untouched Martini Cadet rifle. If I send it to you now, will it be ready for you to deliver back to me next October?

Many years ago I had a complete custom project done on a Martini Cadet. The work was outstanding, but your project takes the concept to another level altogether. I let mine go to help fund a double rifle acquisition. I would like to have it back.
