Title: "The Bear Paw Man"
Post by: Shreckmeister on February 13, 2011, 10:41:00 PM

Has anyone heard of a contemporary maker that goes by the nickname
"The Bear Paw Man" or "The Bear Claw Man"   Who is he?

No, but I have a rifle made by Keith Casteel with a sliver bear paw inlay that he made back in 1974 for someone whose moniker was Bear Claw or Bear Paw, I believe.  That's all the rings a bell with me...

The reason I ask is that I came across a contemporary rifle that is
signed "The Bear Paw Man"  on the sideplate.
If you know Keith, please contact him
and see if he knows who that is.  Thanks
