Sorry to hear that he retired. Don't how old he is/was, but he was a pleasure to work with.I purchased from Ken his "show sample" 600 in March 2022. Other than a couple of personal guns, that about wrapped it for him.
Just thought I would share this, just got off the phone with Ken. Claims he's semi-retiredI purchased from Ken his "show sample" 600 in March 2022. Other than a couple of personal guns, that about wrapped it for him.
He remembers you. He said the VC is still building doubles and would order one for me. They're running around 24k and a year to build. Cheers!!!You won't be disappointed - my 600 is a masterpiece of gun making. It may not have all the elegance of a London gun (and certainly not the price!) Rather, built like the proverbial brick you know what, or maybe more like a Tiger tank. Also, incredibly accurate. I use reduced loads from the late Cal Pappas (with whom I communicated before his untimely passing) including his cast, coated bullets. And my own using 5744. It seems no matter what I stuff in it, she groups within couple of inches out to 50m.Just thought I would share this, just got off the phone with Ken. Claims he's semi-retiredHe remembers you.

Damn, sure does look big!!! Here's the .500 Ken got for me. It's a bespoke lefty. Like you said nothing special just a good looking plain gun. The balance was perfect.You won't be disappointed - my 600 is a masterpiece of gun making. It may not have all the elegance of a London gun (and certainly not the price!)
