okay, we aren't talking about gold inlays & 100% coverage. However, I will recut those pesky screws for you boys iffn they aren't badly buggered up. And, iffn they are & you get the reshaped/saved/restored , I'll even cut them. Course I'll expect y'all to cover the shipping cost. Thanks for being such a great group of guys for the most part --- I'm proud to be a part of this group. Guess this offer is a way of saying thanks. Ken

We do have some great guys around here, Ken; and you're one of them...Geo

Thank you Mr. Ken! This is a kind offer.

Mr. Ken,

Very generous of you. I am proud to be in a group with you.

JC

Mr. Ken really is one of a kind. I am proud too.

Ken took on a destroyed Parker skeleton buttplate from a very important project gun for me. It was as bad as I've seen. Ken and Bill Hambridge finished it for me, Ken doing the extensive filing, screw repair and engraving, and Bill doing the charcoal bluing. I had a time convincing Ken to send me a bill. I finally sent him some money but it was nowhere near the worth of the effort expended. The finished product was astounding. I assume it was because I am a friend. Oh well. Bill Murphy

Yes Ken your are truly "one of a kind". Your are always giving helpful advice, steering people in the right direction and offering people your input on what you know. This is not only here but over on the LCSCA as well.
Thanks again and how is Dr. Bill making out, tough times. I hope he is doing well.

Ken I'll have to look over my guns to see if the screws need any attention. *wink*

P.S. to Fox - Actually De' Shootinest Gent'man was Harold Money and he was from England.

You are a giveing man for sure. First your knowledge and now your work.

Thank y'all for the kind words ...... I was thinking that you might be able to use my addy , (kenhurst@suddenlink.net) Now don't be shy, I'm ready to roll on this. I have had a few folks write me at home this evening --- just join on in. Ken

Ken is a true Gentleman. Bobby

Ken,

Your generosity is beyond comprehension in today's modern world!

Now I will not have to eliminate a certain Parker I am searching for because of buggered screws!

GIVE ME A "K", GIVE ME AN "E", GIVE ME AN "N"...WHAT'S THAT SPELL? KEN, KEN...HE'S OUR MAN!

Thank you Ken..............
It's good to see you back, hope all is well!!?

A magnanimous offer that's seldom seen in this day and age!

Thank you Ken! Your knowledge and willingness to share freely of that knowledge is very much appreciated!

I have just renamed one of my Sterlingworths to "screw". LOL

Ken, you're a generous soul.

Ken,
Your word is your bond. Many thanks for your past efforts. Your generosity is now available to all. What a guy!!!
Granite

Ken's giving work away when he needs shoes. All compliments above times two.

Mr, Ken,

Thank you for the offer, plus all the kind words and praise listed above.

I'll send you all I've got, thanks, Barry

I will make the same offer that Ken made, but, unlike Ken, I will also do full coverage and gold inlay. Murphy

Ken, what a guy. Can you even post some of the work as I always am ready to look at eye candy.

Not unexpected from one of the last true "Southern Gentlemen"!What extraordinary generosity!

Gentlemens:

In a stroke of good fortune I posted a screw to Mr. Hurst the day before this thread started, and beat the rush.

Here is some eye candy for Mr. Katt. The border work is done and Mr. Hurst is working on the bunny rabbit and squirrel as we speak...

Glenn

Thanks for sharing the pictures. That is EYE CANDY. I just love that Baker that Ken did for himself.

Hi Ken - does this mean my reciever is finished? :-)

Stephen

I was advised to include my address for receiving screws sooo, here she is ;

Ken Hurst
PO box 5
Robersonville, N.C.
27871

Murphy, I'll be sure to forward all those gold inlayed screws to you for completion. Ken

Well...I guess that's an answer LOL

Stephen

Sorry Mr. Steve, didn't intend on not answering you. No, the action isn't finished yet. However ---- shouldn't be much longer now. I suspect it will be done by time the stocks are finished. ken

Hi Ken - Just having a little fun with you...I sure hope that came through in the posts but sometimes on the internet the emotional context is not apparent.

Off today to get this back of mine fixed...expect to be home by Friday. Please give Julie my warmest and we will speak to you on the other end.

Cheers

Stephen Meyers

Mr. Steve, Good luck with the operation ! I wish I could have had mine operated on while I was young enough for it to have effect. I'm sure you'll get thru it just fine. Best regards, ken

I don't have anything to send, but, I think it is mighty gracious of you for the offer. Not too many around like you, Ken. Best wishes.

There are rumors that he is a good judge of barbeque too! However, since he is in NC and not the lowcountry of SC, he probably likes that wretched tomato based sauce they use up there. Of course I am stuck here in the midlands of SC and they like mustard based which should be fed to the hogs, not served on them.

John, Ken is domiciled in Eastern Carolina where barbeque is properly dressed in vinegar and peppers. Only when you "go west young man" do you have to endure the tomato based barbeque sauces.

Gentlemens:

Funny you should mention barbeque. I have an acquaintance who is a gentleman in every sense of the word. I never heard the man say a negative thing about anyone. Then one day the subject of barbeque came up. He said: "You know, Mr. Hurst is one of the finest men I know, but he don't know s*** about barbeque."

Glenn

Not to say this other man isn't knowledageable about the art of cooking pig But, I do have quite a few decades of cooking pigs over coals. Nine hours over coals on the grill and a small jar of something made local is par for a pig picking down here. Iffn there's another way, so be it but we'uns are kinda stuck with what works.
Incidently, three or four months back, my daughter sent me the front page from the second section of USAtoday. Right there on the cover was a picture of a little BBQ joint 20 miles from me. The large print title proclaimed eastern N.C. was the best in the nation --- we're rightly proud of that. Me thinks Mr. Glenn is jerking my chain (which he is known for), but that's okay. Ken

Ken:

Whilst I admit that half the lies I tell aren't true, this one is indeed the truth.

Glenn

Vinegar and pepper forever!

Hi Ken
I have never seen a more generous offer in my life. I will lift a glass in honor of you.
Cheers,
Jeff G.

While I'm somewhat set back by all the kind words --- I still encourage you to get those screws to me. Be sure to include your name, address, email address and phone number in the zip lock with screws. I also need to know if screws are to be returned in the white, blued or color cased so don't forget to write it down. Ken

I've been cooking Maryland Eastern Shore Barbeque Chicken for many years, as well as whole pig with a
sprayed vinegar mixture which will remain secret. However, the pressure fried chicken at Ken's local barbeque joint (not really a barbeque joint, but a local treasure with a varied menu) is all I will ever eat when visiting that particular area. Ken has imported a few sides of pig from close by sources that may lure me away from the pressure fried chicken, but the pig takes way too much time to eat when there are guns to mess with.

I second the vote for the outstanding qualities of the Ladies and chicken at Family Favorites....just don't tell your cardiologist what you had for lunch LOL
