I've been stocking my rifles with custom composite stocks for a very long time now but every once in awhile I see something that makes me long for a truly beautiful work of art like that rifle/stock combination. You do beautiful work and almost anyone that loves rifles would be happy, even proud, to possess a classic work of art such as that rifle.

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.

morning, in my reply, I forgot to mention, that during the
engineering of the B-29 bombsite. the engineers could
not find a suitable material to make the crosshairs stable and
not fuzz. Mr. Ward came with Black Widow spider web. the
strength is unbelieveable. dyed the web black with clothing
dye. it worked. justme gbot tum
