Jay's
32SS
I recieved this fine
pic this evening from a customer. Jay's stainless scope and rings
arrived to compliment his Victory 32 SS (stainless on stainless)
carbine.
Having been on the
ledger for some time, and wanting to attend the Erwin Cup, Jay
opted to take advantage of the fact that I was preparing several
actions for the Cup Shoot. He saw his primary usage for hunting
(as a carbine) and so we made him the "C" class stock
shown in bright Mahogany.
For the Erwin Cup,
this action was in a laminated pistol stock and all the shooters
shared it in rotation.
Jay sent this copy
with the pic, and I appreciate it very much: Copied with his permission

Meeting, associating
and befriending a small yet dedicated group of people with
a common interest in the work produced by Gary Barnes - PRICELESS!
Being able to pet Bob's
"face eating" dog Vail without a second thought
- PRICELESS!
Being allowed to shoot
Barnes' guns in Bob's wonderland of reactive targets (Thanks a
million Bob) - PRICELESS!
Watching Gary tweak
his guns while being heckled by Kent, Bob and I - HAD TO BE
THERE!
Shooting the "HOSS"
(Thanks Julio!) - PRICELESS!
To be able to watch
Gary adjust the trigger on your gun and hear him say "Oh
yeah, that's sweet" - PRICELESS!
Hitting the 3rd coyote
- LUCKY, YET PRICELESS!
Having a one on one
conversation with Gary - PRICELESS!
Goodbye hug from Kelly

Learning that you should
make sure to put shoes on your pet turtle before allowing
a small child to play with it - PRICELESS!
I could go on and on.
However, I think you get the point:
The best things in
life are free (PRICELESS). Unfortunately, the rest you have to
pay for. ;) God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Jay
ggggggggggg
Being able to draw
a living from making things folks enjoy, and meeting fine people,
such as Jay here, in the process ... PRICELESS
Thanks Jay,
Gary
