Seeing as none of us can go to the movies, I thought I would do the DG version of "Coming Soon!".

While lots of great work has been documented here to date, we still have to cover the repair of the broken ejector rod and the work to get the ejectors working and timed properly, the repair of the leaf spring noted earlier, all of the barrel work including relaying the ribs, dent removal and bluing, application of the slacum finish (that will be like watching paint dry laugh ) and a myriad of other little details that need attention.

One thing is clear. While the major finishes (barrels and wood) are important in the appearance of the finished product, it is the minute attention to detail at first not obvious that separates a good restoration from a great one. Hopefully we are watching a great one unfold here.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
