| Lar45,
What part of Idaho? I'll be in Cody, WY from June 15-22 for John Linebaugh's seminar. I think there are tickets still available. I'd love the chance to drool on your howdah.

| Cannon,
I'd be happy to know from you more comments about this gun : finition,fitting,...
Because by the end of this year Dave will build me the same but in .475 long.
Thanks in advance. |

| HI,
CANNON, I had MR. Clements do my grips they are antique micarta, I see he did yours too. I think his work is beautiful, the grips come out perfect and I love his express barrel, I love the colors your gun has CANNON and your grips are great. Thanks,Kev |

Were you at Cody last summer? [/QUOTE]
No, i know that you'll meet a very good friend of me at Cody this Summer. I don't want to name him but he is from Mi (U.P.).
If you are agree i'll send you an e-mail to ask you a few things about this gun.
Thanks. |

| BER007,
I've exchanged quite a few emails with your friend in MI, and have shot some of my best groups with his bullets. As a matter of fact, I need to send him some bullets. I'm looking forward to meeting him in Cody. There was a gentleman from Belgium at Cody last year -- that's what lead me to ask.
Send an email to the address in my profile; I'll be happy to answer your questions.

| Lar you absoultly have to bring that monster to the seminar hell id give you a piggyback ride there to shoot it!! quote: Originally posted by Lar45: I'm in Pocatello, southeast corner. I'm still deciding on if I'll go or not. I'd like to go but have a pile of stuff to do at home. The basement backed up and flooded, it's in the process of being stripped, sanitized and rebuilt. I doubt if the Howdah would do well in the penetration test, but it would be fun to try. I bet I'd have the only one there.

| smallfry,
This is my first custom gun, so I don't have a lot to compare to, but in looking this gun over, I haven't found much to complain about. It is super tight everywhere. Absolutely no end-to-end play in the cylinder, and I couldn't get a .002" feeler gauge through the barrel/cylinder gap. David was very easy to work with. I emailed him several times with questions and slight changes to the order, and he was always accommodating and quick to reply. If you've got specific questions, feel free to email me at the address in my profile.
Kev,
I thought Clements was making my grips, but apparently he sent them out to Scott Kolar. I pulled the right grip panel off the other night, and it is stamped SK Custom Grips on the back. |
