I believe Russ is "inudated". Waterfowl (insert squirrel, turkey, grouse, deer, etc.) season is a busy time for him, not to mention pigeon shooting...he also tries to do some gunsmithing on occasion too
Coming home on Saturday from MD, The Colonel inquired of when he planned to do some bluing and the answer was none planned at the moment...Seriously, I know he is working on some very high end stocking jobs right now for one of his best Perazzi clients and one Parker for a BBS contributor...then there is the matter of the 5 guns of mine he has, all little jobs but one, thankfully...
