If you go to the top of the page, on the first post made by Seewin, click on his name. You will see an option to send him a personal message. I believe he not only has the rifle pictured, but one of the left handed ones as well. I wanted that one from an auction, but I seem to recall there was something necessary to make it complete. Wouldn't have mattered, I couldn't have outbid him, lol!
Steve is a very nice man, and his rifles are taken exceptionally good care of, in every way. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to talk to you. He's posted some pictures of some of his collection before. It's sorta like a museum!
If you know how it was that your Dad got ahold of the Eric Johnson barrel, please tell us. I have some examples of Johnson's work. He was amazing. His son once told me that his Dad didn't sell barrels, that only he installed them. His name was on the barrel and it HAD to shoot right. However, I know of one gunsmith Eric apparently trusted enough to install his barrels. Perhaps your Dad was good enough for that, too. The machining on the rifle looks wonderful!
Take care,
Greg
