Well I do realize some people are not as sharp as others so I will make this crystal for you:
The individual I speak of is Speedy Gonzalez who is in the BR HOF and one of the best Smiths in the country and have quite a few of his rifles in my safe. I have spent hundreds of hours in his shop and have never seen a new Douglas barrel being chambered in a competition or hunting rifle. To cast aspersions about a class of people one is not familiar with is not responsible. Maybe this individual is just jealous or does not posses the knowledge, skill, experience or equipment to take advantage of the best materials and equipment required to make precision rifles I don�t know�sounds like a hacksmith to me.
Are we clear now or do you need further information?
