Hank Jr. custom shop?

[Joe S.]

Came across this last night looking at levergun parts. Apparently Hank Jr. dabbled in custom gunsmithing. If you read the letter, those custom features was added at his shop.

Hank Jr owns a gun shop near Stevensville, MT called Deadly Nostalgia. I bought a custom Browning 1886 45-70 Hank Jr. had built for him by a gentleman in Big Timber, MT. and picked it up at Hank Jr’s shop. Believe there is someone at the shop that does some work for him.

As I recall, there's a chapter about Hank Jr's gunsmithing shop in Mike Venturino's book Shooting Colt Single Actions.

I got a set of grips on a frame (frame and grips only) with a letter stating they were his. Fishpaws on it. I'm taking my time fitting the bisley hammer to a different gun and using that frame. They sure are pretty. I'm a Hank Jr. fan from way back
