In Livingston, Montana.

What an incredible room, from double rifles to custom rifles from every great American gunmaker, from Jerry Fischer to Duane wiebe.

Absolute incredible setting and the way the room is laid out.

Morris Hallowell is a class act and his shop is in one of my favorite areas in the US.

What did you buy?

I’ve sold and purchased through Hallowell’s . He knows a lot about his market.

Nothing.

He is full retail, and I’m not there yet.

I watched him win a bid on a .500 Hollis at $23,000 and he has $26,000 on it. Super reasonable mark up.

His property and set up is inceredible.

What a wonderful experience! Myself, I would have to keep my hands in my pockets to keep from scratching my nose, etc. Smiler


Never mistake motion for action.

I've never been to Morris's shop but I have bought several guns from him. Always as described and at fair prices. I would love to visit his shop one day. He used to be in New England ten or fifteen years ago...


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

A great shop. I bought my first double rifle from Hollowell 32 years ago. I might be mistaken but as well as I can remember they were in New Hampshire then? Oh how quickly time passes.

Connecticut.

He was the president of Aston Martin USA before that.

He is also a neat blacksmith too.

Interestingly, just as many of us, Morris is not a 100% gun guy.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that he is also an aficionado of fine iron work and blacksmithing!
