Hi David,
Welcome to the GREYBEARD forum. I have to say that the title of the post REALLY got my attention. Not just because I'm a TC fan, but that I'm a jewelery designer and I live in Albuquerque! Well, Placitas actually. I have been in to Charlies and know his daughter although not well, but she's more knowledgable about guns than most guys I know.
I urge you to get in touch with me, not only for your next jewelry purchase, but to meet a new shooting buddy! I have a friend in Los Lunas that has a few acres we shoot on so we don't have to hassle with the range at 9 Mile Hill with all the "ex-military" testosterone barking range officers (no offense?).
I have a Contender with 4 barrels, 2 being custom Bullberry's barrels that I just love. I'm taking my 7-30 waters Imp. to Louisiana (my roots) to get me a whitetail this Holiday season. I'll hold out for a nice buck, but by the end of the week, I'm able to take a doe to fill the freezer.
I'm at:

Hope to hear from you,
Travis
