    Courtney Selous boots

    If they are too small for @rhoward252 , I'd like to be next in line to give them a try. I'm not much into two pairs of socks but I've found adding insoles can sometimes take up the slack.

    @85lc I don't recall the name but if you look back through the postings in these classifieds there was a retiring gunsmith from Port Angeles, WA who was selling a stock inletting/duplicating machine along with a bunch of blanks.

    Pay It Forward-Free
