My first custom gun is finished and will be shipped this week.
The smith's books were closed when I jumped onboard. I knew then that it'd probably be a couple years.
I was fine with the wait....in fact, I was glad for it. At the time there were some dark times ahead due to my wife's diagnosis.
Custom project was simply something out there on the horizon....one of those "one day it'll be neat" type things. Anything positive was welcome.
The smith had a slew of his own health battles to fight, too. He'd taken some time off to attend to his medical needs. He was also looking forward to getting back to his bench and working through the guns that awaited his skills and efforts.
The base gun for this was a Colt Series 70, blued, .38 Super.
