bill kennedy catalog
« on: March 29, 2009, 01:26:52 AM »
Does anyone know if Bill ever had a catalog? I looked at some of his kits while at Dixon's in 2002 or so and always thought they where top notch.   If you have a copy and have the ability to make a PDF of it I would really appreciate seeing this as I think it would be a great reference item.

Bill did have a black and white catalog of the castings he had along with a price list. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, otherwise I would create you a PDF. Chris Altland bought the business and I know he is reworking Bill's product line so the castings may become available.

As mentioned above, Chris Atland took over Bill Kennedy's pistol business. I will write him with this post to see if he can help you out.
He is giving a seminar at Dixon's fair this year on pistol building.

Eric von Ascwege, Taylor Spaergia, Tom Curran, Allen Martin and other ALR members are also giving seminars, so collect up your rotten fruits and vegetables, and join the fracas.
Tom Curran's web site : http://monstermachineshop.net
Ramrod scrapers are all sold out.

Is Chris going to have a web site or contact info? I'm looking for some nice butt caps and Bill Kennedy had some.

Thanks
