Karl was my Uncle. He recently passed away, his funeral was yesterday in Ely, Nevada. Karl worked out of his shop, which was a converted one car garage. Karl had a contract with Winchester for many years, possibly 45 years or more. He used to hand make his triggers, and would make several trips a week to the post office to mail these to Winchester. Several years ago, Winchester wanted to buy the patent on the Kenyon Trigger. Uncle Karl refused, saying they could not reproduce his quality. They invited him back to their factory. They assembled many of their best gunsmiths. Karl sat down and proceeded to "teach" them. After many sessions, Karl let the Winchester Company decide if their own gunsmiths were up to his standards. They didn't like what their own people produced. Karl kept producing and sending these triggers to Winchester up until just a few years ago. During the services, several people spoke. All had great stories of this man. One was a guy Karl had met, asked Karl what he did for a living. Karl replied that, "You would not believe me." The guy relied, "Try me." Karl answered, "I'm the best gunsmith in the world." Karl hand made most of his screws, springs and levers. Karl had won two national championships, iron sight division. Was awarded the trophies and was noted as the only marksman to ever win by using the rifle he had built himself. I could go on forever about his craftsmanship and attention to detail that he put into everything he did.
