. that I had many years ago , and had sold it to a friend locally before I knew Don W would have wanted it, anyway made it through to another friend Dave S, known as 'cherokee' on the forums, Dave passed away a few weeks ago and BKH-31 came home to roost last weekend, well he had our gunsmith friend Andy Horvath over here on Diagonal Rd. make up a smooth , non fluted cylinder in 32-20 for one of his guns, I had sold(traded off) and the cylinder fits like a glove, perfect,,,,soooo this early BKH-31 is now a convertible.....
Don't get much better than that...Merry Christmas
and may Don W, Dave S, and Wil Terry rest in peace, miss all them, along with Bob C and 'tommygun'........

Danny, I miss meeting with D. W. too. We did many wood working projects together and often traded guns. He had his own method of construction and would not change! Brass Frame
