Too late, I have already been informed she will be shooting it on the small bore course at Haussmann's.

That was way too cool of a gun to not get her. Well done Mr Frey/ Mrs Frey

Lots of potential in that gun. If she had been 34" you boys would not have stood a chance at her

Have lots of fun at HHSC.

All my best,

John

John, that leaves us with the impression that you won't be at Hausmann's?

One of these years you really have to make the trip - You too, would "Have lots of fun at HHSC."

How can a gun have three different pull lengths

Whoops, too Late. That didn't take long. And as far as confusion, what's up with the aforementioned LsOP ?

Edgar, my relationship with Tony doesn't begin to emulate yours. I met him in either Syracuse or Rochester over the years and in recent years all business has been conducted by phone, internet, and/or mail. I have never been to New Britain and I have learned more about Tony through his employees than I ever did from himself. However, I have found all of his checks to have been good. Larry, it seems you have many options for the CHE and I hope the one you choose exceeds your expectations

Length to the heel, length to the middle of the butt and length to the toe. I've seen quite a few guns ordered by cranks specified that way.

Sounds like a great gun Larry. Congrats!! Now find the other one!!

Craig, I'm sure you've heard all sorts of stories about Tony, and most are true. Nonetheless, he is an engaging and friendly guy, but above all, one of the most talented individuals who understands the complicated world of concept, design, manufacturing and marketing. You can't help but like him, just keep your hand on your wallet.
If you've never been to his store, it would be worth a trip and sooner rather than later as he is contemplating getting out of sporting guns entirely. His AR line, and double pump line are running round the clock and now he's making 1911s too

The original owner of the CH 20 was quite a guy. Google is full of historical mentions about him. Since most of us missed the ad, maybe Larry would try some pictures.

Edgar, it should be no surprise to those who know Tony well that he has an unrelenting drive and he is able to comprehend many subjects very well. Carol has shared that he requires as little as 3 hrs sleep to function normally. I know for a fact he drives long distances and looks fresh after arriving with little or no sleep. I also have been told that the gun business is not his main resource of income. There are other stories, but I will not share them here. Your mention of Tony beginning to focus on military style weapons only verifies what I have heard from another member of this forum. Not good news!
