Kirk is a friend of mine; he has worked on several of my guns,and when I still lived in Texas we quail hunted together. Kirk has not retired, but has a big backlog of work and is not taking any more work on for the moment. Like the rest if us he is getting older, with the concomitant aches and pains that go with that, and is somewhat slower than he used to be.

Too bad Aaron is not doing sleeving anymore. He did a barrel on my LCSmith 20 gauge Crown grade and its completely invisible.
