Gebrüder Ellenburg & I spent a lovely evening in Green Hills, Nashville @ the Grande Opening of Ball & Buck Nashville chatting w/ Lyndze Daly, Colorado rep of Armurerie Elysées Paris, who is trying to capitalize on the departure from upper rung Guns from the >>Golden Age of Gunning<< to Black Guns by the European Hunters. Buck & Ball Nashville has a bona fide gunroom as well as Barber Shop and may be offering Hunts in the DRC in a couple years. As the Dallas Flagship Store has a Grande Re-Opening soon, it too, as well as other stores, will have a similar Gunroom.
Enroute, we were able to catch Leather Goods Guy, Col. Littleton in his Lynnville, Tennessee salesroom & chat a bit about his humble beginnings selling 17 cufflinks in Birmingham, Alabama a Lifetime ago as he has 83 years & is literally wide open.

Barrels are made by a French Cat, but no one will reveal his name. I have seen videos of him shooting the 700 Nitro, but his name remains veiled. You know, H&K has all the barrels blanks made in French of Cannon Grade Steel and they are mum on the subject. So I wonder if it is the same Cat?

Montana Rifle Company as well as Benelli had reps there and one case was dedicated to Blaser.
