Edgar always made them to order and when the outside was finished he would ask that the gun be sent to him in order to make the custom-fitted interrior.
Does he still make them by request? Only Edgar can answer that question.
He stopped by here yesterday for coffee and some pleasant conversation to break the monotony of his 7 hour drive to Moosehead... but our conversations only brushed on case making.
He makes some beautiful 16 gauge spreader loads and they're so finely done with perfect roll-crimps I almost don't want to use them... but I know he'll be pissed if I don't.
