I re-Barreled one of D.Z's Hepburns for Chip Mate, #13, IIRC....Called Dan about an extractor blank, he was really helpful, and we spun a few yarns, in the process of getting the blank happening. Met him at the Rat some years later, at a regionals,....nice guy.

The quality evident in that rifle, and everything of DZ manufacture I've seen since is just flat SUPERB, with exemplary care and attention to finishing internally, in places that seldom see daylight.
