Somehow noted gunsmith Jim Kelly missed the constellation of safety questions orbiting this big ol thing when he supposedly worked on it.
I know Jim Kelly well. There is no reason to think he "missed" anything concerning the safety of this gun. He certainly has the expertise to know safe from unsafe. I can think of reasons why Jim's expertise in these matters was not brought to light, but will keep them to myself. He is an honorable man with impeccable character, as evidenced by the way he told the owner of Bo Whoop what he had, when the owner had no clue about the provenance or potential value of the gun. He could have made a very attractive offer to the buyer for it, bought it, and resold it for a fortune himself.
The bigger question is, how do you know Jim
didn't tell George of the potential danger of the thin chamber walls?
