Classy!  For those seeking a solid representative of the Bucks style, you'd be hard pressed to find a better contemporary example.

Mike brought the rifle over this afternoon for us to take to Dixon's.  The rifle is even better in person than it is in photos.  Stop by our table at Dixon's and see a masterful piece of work.  And, if you bring along enough cash it just might follow you home.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike in person this past week.  Mike showed me his shop and the build he was currently working on.  Later I met L.C. Rice.  L.C. showed me a rifle that Mike had built for him.  Mike's work is equisite and is what many of the rest of us should strive for. This Bucks County is just one more piece of his outstanding work.   Mike is a great unassuming guy.  We could all do well to learn from him.  Mike, if you read this thank you so much for taking time with me and answering all my dumb questions.

I was glad that you came by to visit.Not many people come to my root cellar and it was nice to have someone to talk to besides myself.I am also glad to see that you made it off of LC`s mountain in one piece...Mike
