I realize Kutenay and Chuck what a top notch smith means to you guys.
Calvin, I don't think you do.
I now nothing of D'arcy Echols. But it is all about what you want in the gun. I also do not know or have never heard of Martini or Hagn. The picture that I am beginning to see of them is that they are more like artists. Ones who can work with metal and wood as well as carving into both mediums. If I could afford one it would probably hang on the wall and never see the light of day. I could not see myself subjecting a work of art, if I am correct, to the elements.
I don't know how you got that from my post?
Chuck
