Greg, yes I saw those Swensons. I was present when Roy called Armand because he couldn't remember how to field strip the HP since Swenson had built in some type of barrel lock system of his own design. Roy wanted to sell the gun, but was unable to take it down in front of prospective buyers!
It was an interesting conversation, with Roy trying not to let on that he couldn't remember how to strip the gun because he hadn't fired it in 5 years!
I remember that!, Swenson couldn't remember how to take it apart either as he had put a long barrel in it and had made some kind of barrel bushing to fit to the slide. It had 2 ports cut parallel with the muzzle. I was shooting downstairs at the Bullet Hole w/Roy when the strip of metal between the ports broke off. Armand wouldn't tell him what kind of barrel it was; just kept saying, "it's a custom barrel laddie." !!!! :-). Good times, those.
