I could not wait nor will I EVER get myself into a position like this again. I have righted a wrong,,(IMO),,Harry gets a new tunened 350,,,,,CASE CLOSED. "Old Tim".
Dear Tim, seems to me you're still 200% alive ! Funny to see you back on this forum and good you ended the "soap story". Well, what you missed in the mean time is a picture of a beautifull D48 with Ginb style 16 stock ! It must be easy for a "woodman" like you to make a stock like this, I suppose this is a nice challenge for 2009 Best regards from Johannis.
Tim, Your are a rock solid guy and a better friend Harry never had.I don't know what you did to get Harry, a gun, but I'm sure he will treasure this new 350 in more ways than one.This forum may be titled "The Dianawerk Collective" but years later we will not remember the post about breech seals, tuned guns, and triggerrs. What we will remember is the friendships made on the forum.
The American People are weathering a major storm right now. And many folks are losing their homes, jobs etc. My sister was just let go of her job in the PR department of the "Children s Hospital along with 28 other people.I see it everyday in almost every area. My nephew just shipped off for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Every thing is in God's hands, and we all need to keep the faith. Harry lost his gun, but gained something a lot more valuable.
What is that stock you are referring to? I remember a post with it. For those who aren't familiar with it, how about some background? Is it a factory built model or custom?
Red feather: I send a picture to Hector and he put it on the forum. It's a Gentiline stock from Indonesia, custom made for the D48 in Sono Kembang wood ( a type of wood from Indonesia, dark and very tough ) Have a closer look on www.ginb.it and here you see the style 16 stock I own. Best regards from Johannis. ( very heavy stocks and they absorb a lot of recoill waht gives your air rifle a "match character" ).
To help you out, if you send me the trigger housing, I'll jewel it for you for free. At present, I'm offering gun tunes, trigger tunes, and jeweling of trigger housings and the outside of compression tubes. Looks sweet. Just like Lindburg's Spirit of St. Louis. Lee
I knew you'd go out of your way for a fellow airgunner.
You are a true gentleman to even take on this task!
One of these days you will be rewarded for your kindness from the Big Man Above.(I hope its a long time comming too!)
I'll have to give ya a call and see how Texas is treating you.
In the mean time be cool and stay out of trouble down there Te he he!!
Texas has big gray bar hotels.
Nice Job Tim!!!!!

Air Guns Create Questions????
Together we can write the answers!!
That was real thoughtful of you. BTW, did you ever find out anything about Curtis? Just wondering if was a bad egg, after all, or some poor schmuck who had bad luck/troubles.
Best regards from Johannis.
