It's a tough go up in Canada here since the bottom fell out of the gun business with the new gun laws. They have this insiduous fear thing about knives also. Iwould have to do it for the US market like my guitars. but then it might not be fun anymore. And a guy's godda eat adn wupport the wife and dead beat brother in law and kids. Who knows maybe someday.....

Who knows maybe someday..... Godda find a few Mikov kits in the next few months to work on. I like the idea of that large handle area to work on like a big canvas. My other problem is thta my studio/shop is unheated and it's like minus 20 out there now. gadda get a a chimney for my franklin stove.

I had a cigarette and settled down, those are exquisite, keep it up and start doing a piece for sale [one or two at a time] to "feel out" the market.

YES preferably for a ruger p-89

Vagrant · Post by **Vagrant** » Sun Feb 01, 2004 11:30 pm

I think this would be a great choice, Ruger Old Model Blackhawk in .30 carbine.

Vagrant · Post by **Vagrant** » Sun Feb 01, 2004 11:39 pm

A companion piece. [Original] Remington Rolling Block, also .30 carbine.
[Not original chambering, of course]
