This rifle and the Hoffman fowler thread below are head and shoulders above the crowd for what was typically being built in 1979 & 1981. He was certainly in the rare group (and very few) that were doing this kind of work then. Particularly this type/style of early gun, which wouldn’t catch on with the rest of the public or building community for at least 10 or 15 years later. I get jazzed when I see work that was way ahead of its time. Guns, horns, bags, etc.
