I was working at B.A.S.S. when boat makers started using Kevlar in hulls. I suggested to Chet that he try Kevlar. He did, but he complained that the Kevlar was hard on the shears he used for fiberglass.
I think that may have been the start of Kevlar stocks. Roughly 1976-77.
As I remember, Lee Six was into collecting cars, too.
I still have an early Brown Precision M70 in .25-06. Got it for my wife. She wasn’t interested. I don’t rember ever firing it.
