I am still struggeling along in my advanced stage of dotage. I have a nice 12 ga. English fowler on the bench now. This one will be #418. The first 150 only had my initials RAL on the barrel. I then began signing and numbering my work. All the work was done by hand. Fred Miller put most of my barrels in. I have mentored 4 guys for the last 10-15 years. One of them Eric Farabaugh is now taking orders. He is quite talented, and at 49 years old should be around for a long time. I loved the building and and interacting with the clients. I built the guns from 1998 until 2022 when I stopped taking orders, but still build for therapy... Ron
