I sure wish you would put nicer wood on these...... ****************************************************************** R.

I dont understand why they put that recoilpad on. | |||
|
| one of us |
Yes , the red recoil pad is in poor taste ! I also don't understand why there is color case hardening and engraving. I think the two conflict ,you can't appreciate the engraving because of the color ,and can't appreciate the color because of the engraving. As I look at it ,if the metal was stainless steel I'd have some simple gold inlay work .That and the fantastic wood would be eye catching for sure !! | |||

When a customer orders a custom gun built to his likes...he actually gets what he wants regardless of anyones opinion. He wants a red pad and engraving with case colors...thats what he gets. By the way, I think H&H, Purdey and even Winchester did well with their red pads. See you in Dallas. | |||

Cliff, I do not recall the caliber on that rifle. Probably a multi barrel rifle. Bogus Mcall, Thanks, yours is coming along very nicely. Roscoe, we are trying. Bill/Oregon, Actually about 22-24 lpi or so. | |||

I always like red pads with dark wood....reminds me of the classic Griffin & Howe rifles. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Same here, Biebs. | |||

Those same components- Case Coloring, engraving and Red live rubber pads have been STAPLES of some of the FINEST London made best guns for over 100 years. You ideas of "taste" are pretty damn funny. | |||
|
| One of Us |
No use discussing taste here or anywhere else. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I think I would order one just like it. | |||
|

I learned as a kid that "there ain't no accountin' for taste ! "  | |||

The rifle I ordered has all three. I just like the red pads. They look great on my No.1's and look good on these also. I wasnt going to get the color case hardening, but Clay showed me a Double rifle he has ( I believe its a H&H) and it has both, engraving and color case hardening. It was BEAUTIFUL!So that is what I went with.Mine will be chambered in 6.5x55 Sweede. | |||

Mine has a red pad. I wonder if I should have cleared it through the "taste police"... | |||
|
| One of Us |
Just to answer some questions I believe all the Guns will be on Display at Hendershots, as per Adam I went with my friend Biebs advice that the red pads are very classic. Also I have ordered 2 308"s as gifts Also a 270 WSM Gift and mine is a 2 barrel set 7x64 and 300 HH Also All my actions are very nicely engraved by Gary Griffith and have French Gray finish. Gary felt this would show off the engraving better. I will have the final action that was engraved for me at the show, by its self in the white. It will also have a French Gray finish. See you next week at the show. Larry | |||

Red pads, engraving, and case color. Those are the three staples on all of my recent builds. Mac Mac | |||

I looked at these yesterday, and all I can say about them is good. These guys are doing us a great service by showing the world that the US CAN, produce a fine, high grade, firearm, at a very reasonable cost. | |||

Finally got my hands one one today. It's better than I thought it would be. A beautifully made rifle and I can't wait to take possession of mine. | |||

My 223 handles and shoots great and I am well pleased with the Model 11. It has an incredible trigger. I have been doing a little coyote hunting with it but no luck yet. "One shot is usually enough..." | |||

| One of Us |
I can't wait to get mine out. Now I'm thinking about what additional barrels I should add... | |||

Guys I handled these rifles and had a good visit with Adam at the Dallas show. The craftsmanship is superb, the wood is beyond belief and they handle like a fine shotgun. Very lively and point well. Adam and Clay have a winner here... I am placing an order next month for a .300 H&H with, you guessed it, case-colored receiver and a red pad in a 14.5" LOP. 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. | |||

Guys, a great many thanks to all of you who stopped by to say hello and check out the rifle. Thanks for the compliments and for the business. One of the highlights to the show (for me) was when one of the greatest living stockmakers and gunbuilders (ACGG member) stopped by the booth and could not put the gun down for some time. He remarked... "That is a helluva lot gun for the money." He knows who he is, and thanks! There will be ONE Model 11 at the SCI show in Vegas. It is at the Euro Optics booth. Please stop by and check it out. 100% American made! Great balance and dynamic feel. Accurate! compact take down and a... Switch barrel! 16 Calibers on one frame size. Oh yeah...and they come standard with Exh. Turkish walnut! Thanks again all. Best, Adam | |||

Adam, they'd be very successful in Vegas if it were not the case that LANCE is selling them for you! :-) | |||

I had a custom gun maker look at the one we had in Las Vegas, and he was most favorable about it. Said the red pad looked great. | |||

I finally received my M11 a I week or so ago. Simply beautiful... Have not had it out yet but hope to this weekend. Excellent work, a firearm I am very proud to own. | |||

Cliff, I think you should be "proud" your gun is about to be widely known! Thanks Ron and Cliff! Adam | |||

Tradition can also be defined as making the same old mistake over and over and over. Like the hula hoop fad for 100 years... | |||

Thanks !  I wondered if the original red rubber was higher quality and more durable. | |||
