I'm waiting to see Armi's attempt. I talked to a guy at Chiappa and gave him a written list of changes to allow them to improve theirs. He seemed to think that they can put modern markings out of...

It was squarely YOUR fault because YOU left them there and left me un-supervised.

Critter told me he might be able to get our unit passes to come in uniform for some close concert which would be cool. At the Erin, TN event last month he had an 1864 dated parlor banjo a friend had...

Don't be knocking the cheap duplex cookie, Craig. If they'd have had them they'd have eaten them!

FYI- Armi Sport has just made its first production run of the (hopefully) new and improved stocks. I hope they did all the correct markings as well that I suggested, but the stock was the item I...

I might get Peder-bands to work but Armis are better. Peder made theirs wider but then failed to add the keeper for whatever brain-dead reason. I can't add keepers to their screws without...

I love the Enfield, but agree there are far too many in the ranks today. Too bad the Lorenz project never materialized (not enough start up money) Craig and I cooked up, and too bad there is not an...

You know me Craig, unless you give me specific written instructions those wild hairs on my butt take over and I want to try new things. I get tired of the same dang marks Enfield after Enfield. ;-) ...

Armi is about to start making the corrected stock (they say) so you could theoretically gripe to them and replace it but who-knows what they will say. Some of them are swamped but not too terribly...

Yes, Craig, sadly that was what the swamped stock was according to the guy in Dayton I talked to. They had made some corrections like bluing bands, and double line engraving the lockplate, but then...

I just received word from Rino Chiappa of Armi Sport (Chiappa Firearms) that they are currently retooling based on my defarbbed stock and should go into production with the corrected stocks in April....

I knew I got hit with a cap or two but wasn't smart enough to figure out why.

Well, Saturday I received the stock blank from Armi Sport to correctly contour to become their new master stock, at least that's the theory behind this endeavor. It was inletted about 95% but...

Well, the recent alterations they came up with were indeed copied off an original they say is at their Dayton, OH site. In truth, any direct copy today of a 150 year old original will be incorrect...

Just got a response from Ms. S.Chiappa regarding the picture I sent over. I am convinced even she saw the glaring mistake and she is expediting me one of their older contour Enfields so I can defarb...

Just sent to picture to Chiappa with a lengthy detail of the issue and told them the best thing they can do right now is to stop their attempted corrected stock and return to last year's stock until...

The 6-winger CCI caps are definaely hot but they do indeed throw shards off. I got nailed at Richmond, KY by 2 of them a few wks ago by the gun on my left. Te 1st shot the guy loosed peppered me...

Who hangs out with Craig Barry and ogles Craig's daughter while talking Enfields and smoking cigars. Can't beat that!

Bam! Gotta agree whole-heartedly Curt. Nothing is more farby than an original that appears like it is 150 years old. They were new 150 years ago and must look new now or they appear more farbby...

This past week I have been in ongoing talks with Armi Sport, even one of the Chiappa family members in Italy about their Enfield in particular. I am pleased that they not only have been prompt and...

From what I see with the "corrected" Pedersolli Enfield, Armi has absolutely nothing worry about. The Peder-Enf is not close enough to justify $50 more in cost as far as I can tell, except for the...

Pleased to say that yesterday I had a nice long chat with Ron at the Dayton, OH Chiappa Firearms office (Armi-Sport) regarding some issues I had to "gripe" to him abaout relating to their latest run...

Not off-hand. I intend to one day set up to do the eagle as well as some other '61 contractor marks but there is very little interest in the hobby for these so I have not gotten around to it nor...
