To get back to this thread that Dr. Truitt started, Vent Rib guns are almost always specially ordered and thus by definition, special.

Dave,
I know this gun! About 10 years ago I took my father to the Ohio gun collectors show in Wilmington, Ohio. There was a photography challenged guy from Maryland there with this gun. I picked it up many times over the weekend. Kevin McCormick gave me shooting instructions on imaginary birds as I was pointing it, and I came THIS CLOSE to buying it. I found an old beater CH instead and your gun went back to Maryland with no-abla-post-photo guy. So, I went from Idaho all the way to Ohio to NOT buy it just so you could.

Patrick

Pat, Thank You for being so very kind.... This gun has been everywhere with me and I shoot the hell outta it...

Da guy from Maryland told me when I bought it that the single trigger was a bit balky but it has performed 100% since the day I first shot it.

Dave and Patrick, you guys are really hurting me. I apologize for letting this cat out of the house, but we can't keep them all. It is quite some gun, although not mine any more.
