I would like to congratulate Bill Soverns on becoming a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild this last week in Reno. Many of you have seen pictures of Bill's work posted here on the bbs and recognize the quality of his work so it should come as no suprise the Bill was accepted as a member.
Bill and I spent quite a bit of time time talking about projects and had a great time. Its nice to know that the future of custom gunmaking is in such good hands.
I should also mention that his friend Jim Anderson also became a Guild member at the time. Both guys are on their way back home to South Dakota and I wish them a safe trip.
Again, congratulations Bill!

Congratulations to all! What an honor and an accomplishment
to be proud of.
I'd like to give it a go someday. The board will probably
send me packing, though!!
Best,
Dan

Bill has put a huge personal bet on the line in order to be a full-time professional gunsmith and stockmaker. His work is damned good! I'm happy to hear he's getting deserved recognition, acceptance into the ACGG, but most of all I hope his order book is full - it aught to be.
Congrats to Bill and Jim!

I don't know either of these gentleman but I would also like to add my congradulations. As far as I'm concerned there will never be too many craftsmen in this area.

Heard about this on the AR Rifle forum, congratulations to both men, a well deserved honor!

Please allow me to also offer my congrats. If Mr. Doug & Glenn hold them in high regards, they must be tops. Would love to see some of their work here. Any chances of pictures ? Ken

I'm not around here all that much, so haven't seen pictures of Bill's work. The examples he had at the show, though, were great, as were Jim's. What's also encouraging is that neither of these guys have gray hair yet. This is really just what we need in the gunmaking trade--younger craftsmen to perpetuate it.
