Mr Brady. I texted Dan and asked him to make me a 30 cal 19tw barrel blank. 4 days later he texted me back asking me where I wanted it sent. It just got chambered last week in 30 Gorilla by Larry Feusse in Michigan. Larry said that was one of the straightest and one of the nicest lapping jobs in a barrel that he's ever seen. He was dying for me to get back to him to let him know how it shot. I was talking to Terry Leonard in TN who makes most of my stocks and he has 2 of them and he loves them. They both told me that Dan is a perfectionist and he won't let a barrel out of his shop unless he is 100% satisfied with it. I wish it wasn't stuck in KY so that I can get it up and running. Thing is Dan didn't charge me a dime for the blank or shipping. I texted him 5 times wanting to pay him and the only thing he asked of me was to let him know how it shot. Now that's a first for me. A barrel maker wanting a customer to call them back and wanting to know how it shoots. From now on I will buy all my barrels from him.
