morning, Mr. Russo is a Rembrandt with wood. A story!!
Morgan Ward owned a machine in Calif. during WWII. the gov
came in an took control of the business to produce military
parts for the war. the war ended and Mr. ward moved his shop
to a little town outside of San Antonio, TX. I had the honor
of working for him before his demise. Mr. Ward was a wizard
with wood stocks and metal engraving. Mr. Ward did work
on a #3 rem. 22 that my grandfather bought for
.75 cents. in 1903. the stock was cracked, missing wook
Mr. Ward replace the missing wood, repaired the crack and
engraved in the wood a desert scene, with a jackrabbit, sun,
catus (sp) and a rattlesnake. on one side of the stock graved
jackrabbit hell on the other jackrabbit heaven. complete
refurbishment of the stock. I gave the weapon to my son.
MR. WARD ENGINEERED THE B29 BOMBSIGHTS THAT
DROPPED THE ATOM BOMB DURING WWII.
