thank you Hawg
right now im a year out and thats if i can get this full scale 12lb mountain howitzer out of my shop in the next couple weeks.
Most everyone I know that builds full customs are at least that far though so I don’t feel that bad I guess .
First I would recommend deciding what it is you want for a pistol .
You wanting just a shooter or something more …..
Rifled or smooth ?
Then decide what type of pistol something like a trade pistol , maybe a Kentucky or something more in the lines of a LePage type dueler .
Lots of different pistols out there to chose from with lots of different levels .
If your looking for something basic then there would be many choices as far as builders.
You could even go full custom or semi custom .very good choices IMO would be , in to certian order Mike brooks , Steve Zihn , Jim Kimbler, Dan Phariss, David Rase just to name a few .
If your pockets are deep and you want the very best from one of the top if not the top maker here in the US then I would go with Jerry Huddleston. , if you can get him to do it LOL . He is mostly doing very high end museum work or very rare pieces now days though. However you just never know what that old codger will take on
