George,
I know all about gun envy, I've been so afflicted all of my life. I know well about old age too; if I make it until Monday, I will be 77 and I'm still afflicted. The 9.3x64, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, will be my next to last custom. I have one more barreled action and a superbly figured stick of California English awaiting Gary's wizardry with a stick of walnut. I locked in a spot on his 2016 schedule awhile back and gave him the blank about three years ago. That one will be my last. Since Gary is, I believe, a year older than me, perhaps we'll quit together -- Nah, not Gary!
It has been a fantastic rodeo and I wouldn't trade with anyone. However, when that final custom is done, scoped, and sighted in, I'll start on the reverse, selling them off so my poor wife won't be stuck with them and that task. Isn't the term Gun Nut really apt?
TT
