I just want to add my thanks to Spike for his post...sorry to be so late. I've got a couple of the good Colonel's art projects, one that I bought from him (see the linked post above) and one that I bought elsewhere, but that has some of the hallmarks of his work.
I'd advise taking very seriouly to heart the non-shooting disclaimer he has on all of his auctions...as well as the ex-DP rifles, he also builds on relic condition barreled actions (my MkI** IP fits that bill). Wish I'd had the foresight to get the s/n of the one he picked up on one of the auction sites a couple of years ago...I'd bet it's in someone's gun safe even as we speak, looking shiny and new.
