Gee guys, thanks for all the input, always enjoy reading background material like that. Seems like many fo those old gunsmiths were kind of crusty. They probably just got tired of listening to customers stories and wanted to get on with their work. I'll continue to enjoy reading my catalog reprint and hope someday to run across one of his rifles. However at my age chances are getting slimmer, as I really want one of his enfield conversion from two piece to one piece stock. It would probably wind up in Canada anyhow. Thanks again for the info.
