Re: Long legs arrived 16 Gauge 30"

Bill, thanks for the reminder and update on Byron. I do remember he told me that he previously worked at Creekside. As far as I know Randy still deals a bit with collectible guns but is not affiliated with his former shop which retained the business name and moved closer to Newville. frank Yep, Byr...

Re: Long legs arrived 16 Gauge 30"

Back in the late 1980s I gained admission to Randy's safe to measure the dimensions of a 20-gauge Super-Fox frame for McIntosh. Don't think I've ever been anywhere else with as many Parker and graded L.C. Smith .410-bores. I too had the pleasure and privilege to get admission to Randy's walk in vau...

Re: Kaboom

Maybe a 12 gauge Sterlingworth with a 20 gauge shell dropped in and stopped at the forcing cone?

Pictures of a very Uncommon Fox

Pictures below of a Fox. Not a gun tho. And it's not mine. I just took a couple pictures.

Many of you will know what it is. 1921 vintage if that helps. Correction: it's a 1922 Sport Sedan.

Here tis . . .

Re: Remington Model 17

Maybe a mechanical link to the SAFETY behind the trigger to operate it from the upper position. For left hand shooters?

I got a Reply from Jim DeMunck: "I'm not looking for any new work. I don't have my FFL anymore so I can't really accept firearms for work. Keeping busy and trying to complete my own projects that never got done in the last 50+yrs is my goal now. But I certainly thank him for his consideration.&...

Here's a Meriden Model 15 pump .22. Jim just added the engraving to an otherwise very nice Meriden.

Re: Jim DeMunck

Mark, Here's a Smith & Wesson .38/44 Jim did. He started with a basic gun, did the engraving, moved the S&W logo from the right side and put it on the left side and used that space to put that gold mountain lion. Ivory grips too. IMG_0276-1_11.jpg IMG_0286-1_11.jpg IMG_0288-1_11.jpg IMG_0293...

Re: Jim DeMunck

Mark,
Here's some pictures of a Winchester Model 61 in .22 WMR by Jim. He restocked it with new wood, checkered and finished it. Engraved the metal parts and reblued them.

Re: Jim Demunck

Hey Bill, I truly appreciate it. I was leaning towards an early DE pattern similar to one that Tut had Gournet do for him. Then I saw The Quail Gun that Jim did for CSMC and changed my mind. I really fell in love with Jim’s work. I have attached some pictures of Jim’s Quail Gun. If you have any pic...

Re: Jim Demunck

Grouser, I see and shoot with Jim when the weather isn't too bad. He's not a fan of shooting in cold, windy weather. I shot with him about 2 weeks ago when we had a nice break in the weather. I'm thinking he is not looking for any engraving work, at least not any large scale jobs. But, ya never know...

Re: Hollenbeck 20 Gauge Drilling

Brett,

That is one fine looking gun. There sure was a lot of expert work in making and finishing it. And no markings on the inside either?

Yeah, what caliber is the rifle?
