Hi,
I have already contacted Jerry to say I have none available unsold now and am not making more for a bit. I want to concentrate on some other projects.  However, there are others like Ed Wenger, Chuck Edwards, and James Rogers who can do fantastic English style work.

Is Steve Szihn from Wyoming still making rifles? I'll e-mail him about this thread.

You can't do better than have Ron Scott build you one.  He built one for me after a  Studenmayer 1/2 stock rifle (yes, sounds Germanic but it's English in style).

That's a good-looking piece, Phip. Sent you a PM with a few questions regarding it, so as not to clutter up OP's Thread
