I am pretty sure it is a handmade job. Looks like they made it oversize so it would not crack

Craig,
If you think it is bad in your 50's, just wait!

Heck I can remember the time when I was young I didn’t think I’d reach 35 (I had a bit of a wild/rebellious streak) , so I didn’t really worry about taking care of myself . Now it’s beginning to show LOL’s ! My goal in life now is to live long enough to see our grandson graduate from college , wife and I’ll be 58 in 32 days so I figure we need to see 78 to accomplish the goal :eek:

Wasn't it Satchel Paige who said "If I had known I was going to live this long, I'da taken better care of myself"?

Our old neighbor said that and then he said, either that or he would have opened the throttle wide-@$$ open and made sure he didn't make it as long as he did.

I held her open several times but always came out unscathed . And at that time I didn’t care , now that my outlooks changed 180 degrees every morning brings a new ache , pain or limp :rotf:

Also Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones said the samething in an interview!

You’ll never be able to convince me that Keith Richards wasn’t what got the movie folks thinking about “walking dead” “zombies” that type of thing :rotf:

Just got a text from my barrel guru ! As I stated earlier he had already fixed the rib on the four frame gun and now he’s already redone the DH barrels . So it appears I’ll have them in hand Thursday or Friday :cool:

My four frame and DH are barreled again ! With two pics of the four frame rib that I thought came out very nicely and a sub standard picture of the DH pattern . Thank you Breck Gorman :cool:
