Thanks for your support of the 2nd Amendment Dave. Without the minority of gun owners who fight to keep it, we probably wouldn't be here arguing which gun is better.
You should check out Dewey Vicknair's work. He's a Pennsylvania boy, and there is no question he's a Master Gun Maker. In fact, he really is a gun maker, not simply a gunsmith. He sometimes starts out with blocks of steel and walnut, and builds functioning works of art from scratch. Not only are his designs aesthetically pleasing, i.e. gorgeous, but he often uses his own designs and engineering improvements instead of simply copying what others have designed. He appears to be as talented working wood as he is working steel, when so many craftsmen are specialists who only excel at one or the other.
He used to post here on this site, but decided he'd had enough, so he left us. I sure miss his posts and photos, and wish he'd come back. For those of us who do some of our own gunsmithing, he was an inspiration to try harder and do better.
