Kevin McCormack and I inspected these guns at a Vintagers shoot years ago. Kevin testfired, but I was recovering from spinal surgery and passed on the testfire. The gun had way too many exposed, dirt catching parts in the breech area making it a nightmare of a competition gun. I was not impressed. The manufacture seemed to have been done by mailed in instructions by a dozen or more participants. I was a registered participant in three or four different shooting disciplines at the time, offered to take their guns on the road, but never heard from them again.

As I recall they had two of them in their booth, possibly three. I handled them and examined them and was unimpressed.
It was nothing more than their attempt to capitalize on something far superior to their short sighted attempts.
