That's a special piece of wood, for sure. Each time I see one of Tony's guns, I am in awe what a machine can do, but laser checkering makes me appreciate the skill of a good stockmaker. We are fortunate there are guys like Chris Dawe, and Brian Dudley. No amount of technology can ever replace the beauty of hand checkered walnut.

The gun started life as a 16g a 0 frame, 0 grade with twist barrels, it now sports 28" vulcan steel barrels with the correct check hook, and other nice things as you can see, I am like a kid in a candy store! the gun is a special tribute to my old four legged friend, I had a talk with her after I received the gun, if you know what I mean, Gary

Nothing faint about it Bobby. I've handled one of these, a Pistol Gripped 28, and it is a fabulous thing to swing, hold and admire. Winchester never made a 21 like it. My only objection, if that's what it is, is that the gun is too nice to skimp on the last little detail, which, in my mind, would have made it perfect.

Gary Mattie's gun is SPECTACULAR as I knew it would be. I hope you will bring her to the Southern. I wasn't planning on bringing Gunner's gun but maybe we should get some pics of the two of them. If they had met I'm sure they would have been friends.
I talk to Gunner myself. hopefully we will get in one more hunt befor the preserve season ends Friday. congrats my friend it was worth the wait. ![]() ![]()
