Last Wednesday I received a custom rifle built by Don Henry Brown of Yakima, WA. Don Henry has a reputation of building one of the finest Gibbs (english) style Percussion rifles in the world today. A true perfectionist.
Unfortunatley Don had a blood clot in his leg and wound up in teh hospital, that combined with being 80 probably makes my rifle the last one he will ever make. As he was finishing work on it he told me as much. Don is truly a nice man, as I have had numerous conversations with him over the past coupla years.
Anyway with the way things are going this maybe the last rifle Tabs ever buys... Not that there is much that he hasn't owned at one time or another. It has kind of become bin there an done that kind of thing. Once I part with something it is rare that I ever revisit the same thing over again.
PLEASE EXCUSE THE PICS, THEY ARE NOT THE BEST. BUT WILL GIVE THE IDEA!
