Packdog on the Blog

Ken's new personal rifle is shown today.  It was one of the featured items in the contemporary display at the Norris show.  She's a beaut.  Had the pleasure to handle her, and she handles like a well balanced machine.  Ken can elaborate on it more.  Great gun Ken.

Ken- you've made the perfect rifle!  Man what Long tang, the LOCK is perfection- as are those fine triggers.  I especially like the rear one.  Oh, let's not forget the front site's double base.  The Masonic Emblem beautifully executed!

Thanks for sharing your personal rilfe.  I'll swap you somethin good fer it!

as good as this one looks in pictures, I think it is much nicer in person.  I don't know why, but holding the rifle is just different then the pictures.
Nicely executed.
