I believe Dale Edmonds has retired.

I just remembered a dealer telling me at Hidden Hollow in June that Abe had retired (at least from stock making). I never followed up to verify, however.

Don't send anything to anybody other than Brian Dudley if it's work that Brian does. He's literally the only gunsmith I've used in the past 15 years that hasn't disappointed me in some way other than Russ Bickel who's passed away now.

Brian Dudley just finished a set of Super Fox barrels for me and the work is spectacular. The ribs were stripped re-layed, about 8 dents removed, polished and re-blued, the barrels flats finished with the proper polish and file marks. Brian was very sensitive and did not over-polish the original barrel wedge engraving during the re-finish. I added finish to the stock, did a Silvers leather faced recoil pad and Brian lightly re-cut the checkering. It is the middle gun below. I normally don't do project guns but the Super Fox is a CE one of only 22 made.

Brian has done a bunch for me, as most of you know. First rate all the way

Craig, Adding a 0 to that 8 for the number of dents is more realistic. Those things looks like they were dragged behind a truck, more than once. Literally they had at least 2 to 2-1/2 dozen dents in the tubes.

Ok I agree the barrels were a MESS!!! It looks like it just left the factory now thanks to your efforts. I shot this gun a few weeks back in northern NY and killed a mallard dead in the air at 45 yards plus so they do work!!!
The stock on the gun was cleaned but not sanded. I used timberlux walnut stain to bring back the color. I would highly recommend the product if you need to darken wood. |
