Dave Dwyer, other than the age of the gun, what's the grade of the gun in your post vs. your avatar picture. Are they both $250 grade guns? The one without the recessed hinge pin has sparse engraving like my D grade, yet your avatar (made later) has profuse engraving. I guess they just didn't have their engraving patterns established yet. Just guessing.

Chuck: Very very nice can't wait to have a look at your new gun at the Southern

Guys
Mine is pretty early gun, 2313 , sure look similar

The Avatar is an upgrade. I wanted an A grade 7lb shooter, Austin gave me an O grade one frame barrel and receiver that had been through a fire and Sam Welch and Brad Brachelder created it.

P.S. My hammers are from a different gun. When I got this gun it had 0 Grade hammers with no engraving whatsoever.

Nice gun Chuck. I have a top lever grade 3 now you guys got me wanting a lifter.....what are friends for:rotf:

MR. Bishop, I believe I have already put my fingerprints all over it in Baltimore, and if you ever want to see your SS lifter, I had better get preferential treatment over those other two jugheads.

Nice gun Chuck, I looked at it several times in Baltimore.

It's Jarhead not jughead!

Jarhead is a Marine. I meant Jughead. You're obviously too young to remember the cartoon.

I'm looking for Veronica to show up.
