Sad news indeed. Good man who treated folks well. His music and talents as a gunsmith will live on. Prayers for the family.

Heat is tough on all upland birds. Probably only thing worse is drought. Mother nature can be brutal.

Hunting with my dog’s Cody and Otto. With my 12ga AE quail gun, 7 lbs. choked C/M. Was a great day. Hope to get out with them again this year. I hunted around Hayes Kansas with flushers many many years ago. Was carrying a Merkel 16 gauge sxs in those days. Pheasants were the game of choice. It was ...

See where he is quite ill and is now in Hospice. He was battling cancer a few years ago but seemed to beat it back. He was also a member of the Crandel Creek bluegrass band. Did some quality work for me few years ago on a Fox. Info came from Harold Pickens who is well known by many of us. They are g...

Been down the relaying a rib on a custom. Not again. It wasn't cheap and the fellow who did it (well I might add) is no longer doing work for himself.

A lot for sure! I bet that momma is ready to deliver some pups!! They thought she would drop them 2 days ago. First litter. They are hoping for no complications. My trainer years ago had a bad birth from a young female setter. Lost a bunch of pups and quit breeding after that. Breeding a large male...

Breeder sent me this. They count skulls.

Lets see who can count how many pups are in this xray? Xray taken Monday. Litter should drop per the vet anytime.

PS. I know the owner of this pup.

I took a chance on the Fox, 27043. Bass Pro ships 2nd day FedEx to my local Auburn NY Bass Pro, no charge. Guns with a 0 in the hundredth place are pretty interesting and normally special ordered. Nice wood and good dimensions for me. Nice pheasant gun. Made during what I call the puddy colored CC ...

Bill Moravek's Nimrod Gun Shop in Leesburg was a wonderful little shop on the main street downtown. Bill was an interesting character; he and his son ran a couple of high-end photography stores in Washington DC for several years. Bill was very knowledgeable about British and European guns and alway...

I met Ed in Leesburg Va at a small gunshop named Nimrod I believe. He was there talking to the owner who had quite a collection of vintage gun related books that Ed was trying to purchase to prep in writing another book. I had just looked at his book "Old Reliable" that was for sale at a n...

Thanks for the kind words. The booth is definitely a team effort and Kevin and Tom make it happen. Yesterday I saw something that was new to me. One of the visitors, Roy, brought in his 16 ga. Sterlingworth that had more than the usual amount of engraving. Kevin and Tom indicated that this wasn’t t...

Leg is slowly healing. Animal control served a summons to my wife on Friday requesting my attendance in Court on May 20th. The dogs owner was also served. This is a case to determine whether the dog is placed in Virginia's Dangerous Dog Registry. If he is placed in the registry he must be muzzled in...
