I am very happy with the accuracy and craftsmanship of my rifles. MR. KOCIS is the person that sent me all the information and stuff that I have. I don't have a way to put pictures on the comupter. The factory I worked at for 27 years closed down (MAYTAG) so I need the cash. It's not that I want to part with them, it's just one of those things I guess.

Hi ChiefShotguns
I jusst got off of the phone with Douglas Barrels and was told a few facts about their barrels.
First, they never had dirt floors in any of their buildings. The orginal room that was built in 1947 had no dirt floor.
Second, they do not nor did they ever lap thir barrels,diamond or any other means. They do diamond lap their carbide buttons.
Perhaps this may clear up some misinformation regarding Douglas barrels.
Sincerely,
Franchi

I think what chief was refering to was an area where the bbl's were stored after finishing --- at first I thought there was a dirt floor.
GUNSMITH ----Tom came to Colt factory as a guess of mine to see how some polishing was done. I passed him off as a cuz so he could get in. Next time you see him, give him my best regards and tell him I still,own #999 that he sent me & it's the best shooting rifle I have ever owned. Also, I was at the NRA show in Salt Lake when Elmer and Bob Steindler stopped by for a talk -- they also sied it was the best out of the box rifle they had ever owned. FWIW, Ken

Hi Gunsmith:
I too was raised in Apollo. I had a friend while in high school named Tom Kocis. The last time that I saw Tom, he was working in the Apollo Hardware. Do you have any idea as to how I may contact him? He is one of those people whom we can not contact to invite to a class renunio
Who are you and where where were you raised? Perhaps our paths crossed many years ago. Do you still reside in Western Pa.?
You may contact me at 718-536-3334.
Sincerely,
Franchi

I have a lot of pictures.
Care to share one?
