Standard is owned and operated by Connecticut Shotgun. I am lusting over the website and youtube videos. Anyone here picked one up and op tested them yet? If the SAAs are anything like the shotguns they build they will be nice! The price I have seen is about 1800 with standard grips and upgrades for fancy walnut and ivory is extra.

Thanks again. I have pretty much resolved to get one with the 5 1/2" barrel then have Bowen tweak it a bit. Barrel cut back even with the ERH, Dovetail front sight and Rowen sheep horn shoes. Perfect EDC.

Sounds really nice, especially with the sheep horn stocks. We must have pictures when you are done!

I started to watch the first video ... after seeing how good the gun looked, and then seeing how all the screws were beautifully blued and all the screw heads were lined up ... I had to quit watching when he brought out the screwdrivers and started to take it apart. Not sure if I wanted to cry or be sick ... I could never have done that, couldn’t even watch! I’ll probably have nightmares ...

At least in the past he's been willing to sell just the dovetail front sight base for another smith to fabricate and install the pin-in blade. Subdoc mentioned having the barrel cut, dovetail front installed, and Rowen grips. Even if Bowen won't do the work he can still get that Bowen front sight base and have Horvath or someone cut the barrel, mill the dovetail slot, fabricate the blade for the front, whatever else.
