Schimmel Builders?
« on: January 14, 2021, 12:47:43 AM »
Well hi. I am enroute to the Middle East for a stint with Uncle Sam. I’m looking to hire a builder to make me a basic Schimmel barn gun while I am away. Something extremely simple.

Could anyone give me recommendations for builders so I can contact them to perhaps start a commission? I sold my Ohio rifle not long ago and currently own no rifle, and that absolutely must change. Thank you all and God bless,

-Dillon

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

  Pander  maybe Stoner Creek or David Rase. Their are a number of qualified builders on here. Just depends on your wallet...  Oldtravler

Allen Martin without question. Makes a plain Lehigh barn gun just as beautiful and appealing as a highly decorated Herman Rupp Lehigh. Heck of a guy to do business with to boot.
Best Regards,

I’m on Allen Martin’s list, down payment sent and am settling in for the wait. I think Tom Petty has a song about this? LOL!

Well given you are off to serve your country I would have guessed "Well I won't back down" by Tom.  Thanks for your service.
