Jim Klein has a new website up and running. In addition to his fine custom work, he offers some nice pre-inlet Beck, Berry and Virginia rifle kit styles that are very high quality. Super nice guy to deal with too.

Also - you don't get to see Freddie Harrison's rifles very often - everyone knows him for his fine stock woods, but a lot folks don't know he is a fine builder. There is a good example on the Contemporary Makers blog spot today. His work is very unique - one of the traits is that when you study one of his rifles, every time you turn it over and look there is a little subtle touch of character - not gaudy - just enough to make every angle interesting. His metal work is really nice. The piece that is shown is one of my favorites of his - love the patchbox. Lots of unexpected touches, like the reworked Caywood French style lock. Just a nice, unique contemporary piece.
