Because it was easy here are some final images for the evening of my Chief AJ items. I cross posted these in the Chief AJ thread but also wanted to leave a set here! I do not own a firearm from his workshop.

Yes sir.
Perhaps it's my grouping but I had a hard time photographing these. These are the pins, fire, and other misc I've accumulated.

This is a little bit different. All of these items were made by LeRoy Johnson a great and dear friend of mine. I've given more of his calls away as gifts than I've kept but I really like the tone and style of his calls. LeRoy has been making Calls for 40 plus years and he also loves Rugers. He has offered to teach me to do this but I stay so busy that I stupidly have not taken him up on the offer. The SS grips are the only set of grips that he has ever made and I will need to verify but they are probably 20 years old. The turtle shells are a newer addition to his line of calls. To my knowledge, he has only ever done one collaboration piece and that was with me. I painted a shell and he made the call. That one was a gift for a friend and I'll have to find a picture of it. The red blue and yellow turtle shell came from land in OK which used to belong to the Seneca Tribe. We thought it fitting to honor the call with their tribal colors. It's one of my favorites. I really hope you enjoy these!

Cirrrhitidae,
Let me just add that many of us here are Life Members over there! This organization was formed because a group of us felt like we could offer something better than we were getting over there. If you have not joined the organization, you should go on line and do so. We publish 2 Digests in the Spring and Fall(64 pages) and 2 Reports in the Summer and Winter(12-14 Pages).
I like your cabinet! My wife has one like that, but she won't let me use it for Rugers.
