Claudio and I just remembered.....one portion of the restoration we forgot to detail completely! Didn't even mention it. Partly because we did it so long ago. LOL

Sadly we didn't have a third body in the shop to properly record the gun fitting process. But it still happened. Long before most of the other work even began but after the barrels were back, free of defects and in the white, I visited Claudio's workshop for a gun fitting. The end result was getting the LOP, the drop and the cast right. Most of the effort was in giving the stock a little more cast off than it had. For future reference, we concluded that Claudio's fit is almost identical to mine. Now if only I could get my shooting identical to his! LOL

Here is the one photo we have of the process.....in the middle of heating and bending the stock to give it the extra cast off.


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