try emailing this guy from his website.  I had a good experience with him. I didn’t barrels listed, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one.

The 7 7/8" forearm would be right for it and 1/16" short is no issue. Wood does shrink and can wear. If your having issues posting pictures you can email them to me at the below address. Also send me the complete serial number and I can check it.

Just doesn't pass the smell test, but I wanted to see if anyone knew either of these guys.

My dad bought an old abandon factory when I was a kid to rehab and he couldn't get the pigeons out with bird shot, took half the old paint off the beams with no progress. Hired me to do it with the wrist rocket and I was silent and deadly!

I've been helping him get rid of his collection the last few months.  The sign might not make it to Cody as another friend that had purchased my previous is interested... life is good.  Looking forward to this weeks gathering... cheers.  Ben
