Interesting collaboration on the Contemporary Blog
« on: September 12, 2014, 02:23:30 AM »
Lest I have missed mention of it... I'm surprised no one has made mention of the great gun on the contemporary site a few days ago.  An apparent joint venture of Jim Kibler and Ian Pratt.

Pretty cool piece!

I like the gun, and the repair just adds to it.   We have done several repairs this way, except, we used copper instead of
brass.  Copper is a little softer and is easier to make it conform to the shape of the stock..........Don

Thanks guys.  It was a fun project to do.  I think Ian did a great job on his part.  I've not seen the finished rifle yet and will be looking forward to it!

Jim-Ian.........it's kind of crazy but I really like a gun with these kinds of repairs.  We've done it several times, and most
recentlh we did the "staple" gun, things like this just take it out of the "ordinary" class.....well done...........Don

These two guy are on the pointy end of the stick. The originality they achieve while staying inside the bounds of truly conventional methods, architecture and design  is impressive and inspiring.
