+10 for trotterlg, What a great guy!!
« on: March 04, 2010, 05:09:53 PM »
+10 for trotterlg!!

I sent him my 357 max barrel with iron sights and he was going to cut it from 22" to 16.5" for me. I completely expected him to just cut and crown it but as a bonus is fitting the front site back on.  ;D  I couldn't ask for a better guy to do work on my barrel. I would recommend him to ANYONE any day.

You guys are great people here...I'm a member of about 10 forums and this one is by far the best. +10 for you guys and Larry. Thanks again!!

On a side note...I will be getting you guys pictures of my shortened 357 max barrel on a SB2 frame and youth synthetic black stock asap.  ;D

Larry's work is amazing. The first 32-20 Handi barrel that he built is mine and it's a beauty.

Larry is truly one of the GBO JEWELS for certain!! Part of a crew of SUPER GUYS here on GBO!

Larry helped me out with a special job as well, making a rim cut into my 308 handi barrel effectively transforming it into a 307Winchester "lickety split"!! I'm privileged to also own a couple of his barrels. Affectionately referred to as "Trotter Specials".

THANK YOU LARRY for everything you do!!!  THANK YOU BILL and MATT for building this place we all call "home".

Larry has just done it again.  He salvaged a ruined .357 barrel by reaming it to 35 Remington which prompted a 3 way swap by members here and each got the barrel they wanted.  The man is a Prince. :-* :-*

Add one more member to the trotterlg flan club! His detailed and informative posts have given me the confidence and knowledge to build a few of my own stubbed barrels successfully. His posts are especially informative due to the excellent step by step picture documentation that guide you through the process.

Thanks Larry! Keep the projects coming!

Thanks for the kind words guys, but I have more fun doing this stuff than you will ever know.  Lets just let this thread die out, I may be able to get Quick to lock it.  There are lots of others here that do great services for other members so remember them also.  Larry
