Now that John Gillette has exited the game, are there any options other than Turnbull for quality Bone Charcoal CCH ?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,

Bill Schwarz does very nice case colors. I've seen a lot of his work including a friend's Boss hammergun.

Lee Shaver of Lamar, MO did a ML Alex Henry lock and other parts for me that were very nice and I thought reasonably priced.

Is Bill still working full time? I think I heard that he might not be, but would defer to first-hand information.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I think Bobby told me the other day that he heard Bill has slowed down a lot. Maybe he can confirm that.
