Are you all here familiar with Bailey Bradshaw's handiwork?

I am, having personally dealt with an intern that has branched out.

Bailey is a true artisan.

That's my rifle on his website, a 500NE and 450-400 2 barrel double rifle set. It took 11 years, so beware.

A former coworker had a good friend of that
name that was a custom knifemaker.
That's been years since I met him.
I wonder if it's the same man?
The knives of his I saw were top drawer

Yes, same guy.

Waiting that long shows a lot of patience on your part.

Baily has done some gunsmithing for me. I've bought Wagyu beef from him. He lives just east from me. He had a thread with pics of building a Damascus actioned double rifle on Accurate Reloading forum. Step by step including making the Damascus.

That would be a deal breaker for me.
