:? DGW 1949, Just so there is no cofussion. Although I have a hell of a gun collection,I am not a "Gun Collector". I own alot of neat guns but I buy all of them with the full intention of shooting them. That being said I am less of a gunsmith than a Gun collector. I bought the last cowboy because it gives me a woody, But I would hate to totally screw it up tinkering at home. However, after talking with the super people on here, yourself included, It is something I am sure I can acchomplish myself. And I would like nothing more than to become proficent in smithing these fine guns! Thanks to all who have posted responses to my queries and to you flatgate for your insight! Hope to meet many of you at the RCA show in Harrisburg,PA :lol:
