Ken, I'll say it again beautiful work.
I know jOe just posts to get people aroused, and does a good job doing so to some people. I guess everytime he looks at a magazine cover of a beautiful gun, amimal or woman, especailly the woman, he thinks that's the way she/they look in real life. They only look as good as the graphic designer wants them to look, makeup doesnt' do it.
So in lining up all warthogs, Meerkats, women, guns etc they all look alike to jOe.

Nice work, Ken.

David, I'm guessing an artist with Mr. Hurst's experience and talent isn't worrying about what Joe thinks.

Mr. Fewless - please post pics of the finished gun.

JDW & Norm. Maybe Mr. Glenn will also post pictures of the Meerkats that I copied. If so, the photos of the Meerkat in question will show that it was born with deformaties ( I guess). Anyhow, I copied them the way they looked in the photo as I did with the warthog. They might not please everyone but I copy what I'm ask to copy. Ken

Ken,

Your work is great as always.

If Mr Glenn would post those pictures over on http://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve I am sure the reception would be very good.

Pete

My goodness, what a mess. All I wanted to do is post some pictures of my rifle...

I do want to thank all the wonderful folks who were able to point out all the glaring faults with Mr. Hurst's work. I must say I was surprised to learn this, but it is best to find out now so perhaps I can get some of my money back. If it turns into an ugly court battle it is reassuring that I have ready access to experts in the field who are not afraid to come forward.

There is something of a bright side to all this. To be frank, it is somewhat of a relief to learn that my rifle is irreparably damaged by this shoddy work. It takes a lot of pressure off of me knowing that the rifle is already junk, so I don't have to worry any more about damaging it in the final finishing and assembly.




And no, I won't be posting any more pictures of the rifle. Between upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the masters and then watching these same paragons trash a dear friend of mine, it just doesn't seem worthwhile.

As long as the owner and members of this board choose to harbor jerks like this hiding behind their silly aliases, the whole forum will remain a platform for their delusions of adequacy and of little value for anything else. Too bad. It used to be a fun place to visit.

Regards to all,

Glenn Fewless

Glenn-I understand your feelings- you wanted to share with us all the masterful work of a good friend and most talented artisan=and working in a most exacting medium. Would you consider posting finished fotos and other pertinent details of this "Rolex of Rifles" on another site. I am a devout rifleman- prefer FN Mauser type BA rifles- mine are, as Hemingway said about his G&H 1903 Sporter- "A gun is to shoot" but I would love to own, and I would hunt with it, a Jerry Fischer masterpiece, or a pre-64 M70 custom shop from G&H- Don't let old Homeless Joe annoy you- his ancestors most likely criticzed the Sistine Chapel!!

Nice job Ken & Glenn!
I think warthogs and single shots go very well together!

Glen just because I don't like your warthog doesn't make me a jerk...any more than it makes you a jerk for liking it. And truthfully I won't loose any sleep over what you or your buddies think of me.

Ps...I'm not hiding anywhere Mr. Fewless my profile offers allot more information about me than yours does.

Adios.
