This gun has been an engrossing, and at times maddening project, but I am pretty pleased with what we have made of it. Customer is excited to get hands on this idea from some years ago he brought to me. I am humbled by his willingness to let me and the process work without bother or worry from both sides. Looking forward to some normal Govt models for the next few months haha

Enjoy

Building comp guns is next level artistry. Thank you for showing it off.

Did I miss the marking in steel indicating this as a KGB build?

If I had commissioned this and it arrived to me without such a marking, I'd box it up and sent it the %#+€ back post haste.

I am fortunate to own two Travis Strahan PPC builds and his signature is on one of them and not the other. I curse the commissioner for having him delete that. I have another PPC build on a 1956 pre-Model 10 that is a work of art and it's totally unsigned and this eats away at my gut.

I don't expect all to agree, but I'm staunchly dug-in with my position. A custom build needs it's pedigree.

These beautiful guns will long outlive us.

Seriously, if my guns come back and aren't covered with the words "KGB" and "I AM THE $H!T" to match the "Thug Life" tattoo my mom got over her belly button, I don't know what I'll do with myself.

I didn't even want a comp, but now that I know it to be "maddening", I feel that I NEED a comp.......there's something Freudian there, certainly.......

Man, the finish on the guns you've done recently is amazing and it's an absolute pleasure to see this stuff.
