He got some complimentary components, but he bought or borrowed the guns (He used my old Iver Henriksen custom Mauser for his first "Pet Loads" piece on the .35 Whelen, for example) and may've had to buy some of his components, especially in the early days before I became involved.
No expense account.
Boss refused to sponsor him at a SHOT Show or any NRA convention, so he and I had a secret arrangement � I'd house and feed him on my expense account if he'd somehow get himself there and back. Even arranged a mouflon hunt just before the NRA convention in San Antonio. (When he got the ram that you may've seen a picture of, on the wall in his den.)
