Thanks for the good words. I have another in the works. Dunlap has sent me a really dark piece of walnut, and I have a Rice .40 Southern Classic with a lollipop tang this time. The fellow who inlet the barrel and shaped the buttstock is Mark Weader (sp) at Jack's Mountain Gunstocks. His telephone number is 717-543-5370. All complements concerning the stock architecture should go to Mark.
