Actually, I think the Martins would be a great addition to that list.

I agree, Lee Martin is the only name on my "Quest" list that I will never get a gun made by!

Speaking selfishly, the more quality custom gun builders there are, the shorter the wait time for us. And I agree, I think Martin would be a great addition to the list. It's a shame that such artistry can't be fully appreciated by those willing to pay.

Right now there're so many great gunsmiths doing this type of work it'd be hard for us to compete. When you look at what Bowen, Linebaugh, Hunington, Clements, and Harton produce, I don't think there's a need to add Martin to the list. -Lee www.singleactions.comMartin is already there. He just has a very small approved customer list. ;D

I keep coming back to this thread to look... I can't imagine having the ability to create something like that. It must be extremely satisfying and fun to boot - you are a blessed man!

We recently finished this 500 Linebaugh conversion so I thought I'd post some photos: It's basically the Nimrod configuration. Pac Nor barrel, knurled Belt Mountain pin, Bowen target rear sight, home-built aluminum front post, etc. The grips are Claro Walnut and were fit by Cary Chapman. I'm pretty pleased with how it shoots. Both groups were with 29.5 of H110 under a 435 gr WFN. 5 shots off the bench @ 25 yards: 10 shots off the bench @ 25 yards. The shot to the lower left is on me: I'm convinced the gun can shoot way better than I can hold. -Lee www.singleactions.com Absolutely beautiful workmanship.... Outstanding!!!!!!
