A very talented gunmaker

[Butch Lambert]

A friend that lives east of me was a premier knife builder. He is doing rifles now. He does it all from making damascus, machining the receivers, all of the stock work, checkering, engraving, and the rest. He does buy barrel blanks.

That's fantastic. Reminds me of the H&H rifle video. Thanks for sharing Butch!

That is really something.

I love the way he starts with the higher carbon steel, knowing how much carbon it will loose during the forge welding process.

I love stuff like this.

Since I am a knife collector I am aware of Bradshaw and his wonderful metalwork, this project was just magificent.
The guy makes a fair piece of Damascus as well.
Butch, another Tx. Boy that I have met....also, at one time, A benchrest shooter, Joe Kious. One of the world's best folder makers.
Ever run into him ?

Tim, we shot with Joe at Dietz's range in New Braunfels. He was a very personable guy.

All's I can say is, you don't "have" Butch's money..... you EARN it.

Shame on you

And KUDO's to Butch

Joe Kious passed away a number of years ago..

joe bought a lot of bullets he gave me one of his personnel knives he made

 

[fx77]

WOW I highly respect the craftsman's skill, and I glean from the videos that I have neither the money or desire to own such a firearm. Appreciation cannot buy one!

Still killing a bunch of hogs with your traditional bows?

 

[Pat B.]

Again, age kinda caught up with me.. Shooting those bows on a regular basis was causing a lot of neck and shoulder problems. So, gave it up 3 years back..

Hunted this winter with a couple of old Marlins, a .444 and a .45-70... Killed a few pigs with those and had a big time. Hope all is well with y'all ..
