How do you say it, Bill that rifle is so you, the color goes with your skin tones.

LOLOL.


Thanks Gunner.

Save some of the photos for the show.

Bill, wonderful weapon, the color is really you!

Everyone else:
In the hands of a normally scaled human being, that would look like a full sized (albeit not very manly) rifle, a testament to the stature of the man(?)-mountain, Oregon Logger and master bladesmith Harsey. I am having doubts about his orientation, will have to call his wife to see if this a new color choice, or it's been there all along...




I guess I'm never getting another knife signed by this designer, damn, shooting oneself in the foot can have lasting consequences.

Can he even get a finger inside the trigger guard? (Never have figured out how he does "artistic" work of the quality he's famous for with those hamhooks he uses for hands. )

Brain, that is a interesting observation. You also have to consider the big city that Bill lives near. Faded strawberry had been a accepted as a manly color for businessmen through out the big cities of the US. Sadly that is not the case here. Tied dye is still the preferred color for Bill's A/O. Bill is really stepping out on the cutting edge of accessorizing his firearm collection with the latest in color. I would have expected a tied dye stock.

Got to hand it to he Ducks, they will definitely throw you a curve. If you notice in the last game with the Beavers. They even threw curves to their own players.



Gooooooooooooo Beavs.

Nice but They would run me out of my state when they saw that gun in my truck. Good hunting with it. Might be better for hunting in California. The color is good for down there...

Why do I keep messing with Harsey? He crushes small cars with his bare hands and designs great sharp pointy objects...

I didn't realize that it was, once again, time for open auditions with the Willamette Valley Marching Fusiliers and Glee club. Good luck Bill, I hope this is the year you make the squad!

It's all fun and games until he crushes someone like a grape...

I was at the gun show at Rickreall yesterday. Looks like some of the firearm companies are targeting some new customers, mainly women and children. One guy had really nice shooting cloths for kids. Gun cases stating, "My first rifle", etc.
