My best gun could have been stocked to fit me. I would not change a thing on it. Know your dimensions and shop accordingly. The search is half the fun and it does not cost a penny.

The difference between centering clay birds at 20 yards and centering live game at 50 is considerable.
Fractions both of inches and seconds.
Out there doing it best I can.

I don't shoot guns with excessive cast well, performing better with the more generic, often non-bespoke "hardware" store versions. On the other hand, cast-off suites me well. A lot of shooters miss the custom fit aspect of "best work" guns. They did not come with generic fit nor were they bought "off the peg." They tied up too much capital to stock in hope of a customer.

It seems there were a lot of brand value 3 makers that would have seldom obtained a commission for a best (OQ 1) gun although capable of completing one. DDA, you are over your limit for PM's but I'm bidding on a BV3, OQ2(?), present Q 3(?) at auction and don't want to disclose much more than that. Would be more than happy to share images if you were to make room and message me.

RARiddell,
Would you happen to have any pics of that Greener you mention ?
Man,those high end Boxlocks were something to be hold. I am very fond of Greener guns.
cheers

JB, you are absolutely right that any brand, actual maker or retailer, could get out a OQ1 gun. True makers used in-workers with requisite skill and contracted with with other shops and/or out-workers to fill in any gaps.
I'll clean out some stuff and make room for you. Try again tomorrow. Love to hear from you.
