Excellent Photography Steven. Beautiful lighting.

Very nice!

Beautiful!! Would love to see some more pictures.

Thanks SDH,

I can't carve a stock, but I sure know a good one.

Nice engraving! Understated. No wonder Weatherby round-filed Roger's resume.

Thankd for the forend pic!

Hey Steve,

Now that I see it, I do remember the rifle. Or, rather the engraving job. Most likely a mid to late 80's job. Rarely did I see the completed rifles. The metal would show up polished, perfect and ready to go, with a note reading "Do your thing". Hehe.

Honestly, though, we normally talked on the phone 4-5 times a week. So the work was already hashed out by the time it showed up. Sure do miss Maurice.

Thanks for the photographs.

Steve,

I'm going to ammend the dates to early to mid '90's.

I think we all miss Maurice, he was a great rifle builder, but a nicer guy.

Mark,
Very well said. I was on the phone with Monika last night and as always we spoke about him and she told me that he had told her a lot of tricks he used in gunmaking and she wrote them down. I suspect that Maurice had some that none of us ever thought of. She says they are all on a pad she has kept but she wrote them in GERMAN. Imagine that is a lot more natural for her. She did say in the future she will dictate them to a tape deck and send it to me and I will write them out. I thought it might be a fitting thing to have them published in the Gunmaker with his name on it as the author.
