Duplicated my last stock for 2018

As some of you know I've decided to leave the 6300' of Elizabeth and move to the 800' of Mexico, MO. My home town and yes home of GRAFs.

So back to the old homestead shooting range out the back door and deer hunting a 5 minute ATV ride. Just paid to restock the pond after 15+ years of no one fishing I caught and tossed 80+ 6-8" bass in 6hrs of fishing.

So thin the bass and add minnows and bluegill.

Sorry I digress. Since I have to finish my basement here before we can sell plus do a full remodel to the house in MO I need to pack up my duplicator and shop equipment. I hope to be back to turning early 2019.

If I'm holding one of your patterns that you will need before then please let me know so we can make arrangements to get it returned.

Much like Idaho, Rural Colorado is flush with scenery, and short on well paying jobs. Also, many of us mid westerners find it hard to escape the gravity field of our hometowns.

You might have easier access to quality walnut in Missouri. Fajen and Bishop were bought out and closed down. I think the need and desire is still there. If you could get/make pattern stocks that are identical to the Sako AV stocks, with inlets for Remingtons, Rugers, Winchesters, and earlier vintage L46, 579, L61, L691, and AIII actions. You might find yourself busier than ever.

Paul,
Sorry to hear you are leaving us.
I'll be working in Elizabeth tomorrow, fixing the lights on the ballfield.
Let me know if you need anything on your basement finish.

Enjoy this Paul. Mexico is a nice little town. Glad you can go back. I lived NE of KC a ways for almost 40 years. Couple years ago I retired and moved to Oklahoma to spend time with middle son who had moved away several years before. I liked it up there but sometimes you have to move away from toxic relationships. There are still some Bishop and Fajen people around up there. Will have to look closely though. Wenig is in business but you would be more of a competitor. Grafs, Midway, Sierra, Starline, Bianchi Cup, many things in the shooting world up there. Have fun.

Paul, thanks for the great service you have given. I can't wait to get that last 2018 stock back tomorrow. If you are in KC let me know and we can see if we can get together.
