cal pappasBuck Stix--Good Guy Report
Fellas:
Buck Stix not only has a great collection of doubles and other firearms but he is a hell of a machinist. Many of us have ordered his crimp tool for the bore rifles. I had a 12-bore made and it worked flawlessly. It also worked for my 10-bore. So, why not have two more made for my 8- and 4-bores? Then one made specifically for the 10 to have a set of four? Buck not only did this he did it in a few days!! In addition, he rose to the challenge and made a seating die with a crimp shoulder for my 20-577 Holland out of a .577 Snider seating die (CH tool was 24 months back order and Buck did it in 24 hours).
Bottom line, if you need a traditional crimp tool for your bore rifles or anything else for that matter, give Buck a call. Look at the photo and the quality of work.
Thanks, Buck.
Cal

eagle27Ha ha, Buck Stix is just like me, he just likes using that knurling tool, doesn't matter what he is making, it's that knurling that floats his boat.
I've got a rotating head knurling tool with three patterns to choose from, mines bigger than yours

Nice work Buck Stix, quality written all over it.
