Wow - did this thread take off! Very neat stuff. I've really enjoyed everything pictured. So far, Don's deluxe .405 with the factory pad (that letters) and was built before the .405 was supposed to have come out, rattles my cage the most. One wonders how many (if any) .405's were made before this one was made. It sure seems a special rifle in many ways - likely more ways than is known.
Like the rest, I am hopefully that Don will pamper his wonderful wife to the extent that she will take some pictures of his 36 inch barreled rifle
Also, I had forgot Shrapnel had that '73 in .22 Long. Neat rifle and neat that under his ownership the rifle has a new chapter in its life of doing what it was made to do - hunt
Oh, and Woodie's camp pictures - talk about stepping into the past
I do not understand how people can stomach stainless steel and plastic rifles when rifles like what has been shown here exist.
