Was just perusing the web and it appears Bowen Classic arms has removed the Colt work from his catalog.
It's a shame when the few really fine options we have to build our custom guns keeps getting smaller and smaller....
Alan is going to concentrate on Colts, Bowen is Rugers only, David Clements has had to limit what work he'll take.
If I were a young man and didn't want to get rich I swear I'd head to Trinidad or Troy and go to school...

When I went back to school a few years ago, I very strongly considered going down to Troy. Talked to a couple of "name" gunsmiths however, who told me I'd be better off getting a "real" job to support a gunsmithing hobby rather than trying to support my family as a gunsmith.

I'm sad to hear this as well, if I were 18 again I'd consider becoming a revolver smith.

Hamiltons article on custom single sixes in the latest issue is a great read. He shows some very beautiful guns. It will cost me some money.
