Ken blued a set of Nitro Special barrels for me. He wanted to take them to 600 grit, lacquer them after blueing and make them look out of this world. I thanked him and said 320 was more in line with how they were when they were new. There were other guys taking American farm implement barrels and polishing them too far. He did what I asked, and they looked period correct and nicely done.
In a conversation I told him I needed a .22 blank pistol for dog training. About three days later, one showed up in the mail from Ken. When I tried to return it, he asked me to keep it, saying his dogs were old, and if he ever needed it again, he knew where it was.
I still have it.
I get that other people had different experiences with him. But, he was a good guy who did a great job for me.
Godspeed.
Best,
Ted
