For my 2 cents ...
I read about the Capt. Schaeffer in GOTOW much like the rest of you.... Mused I'd like to have one...
I've done that before... but this one was a bit different.... this time I took the steps and was on the list...
Bantering with Mike Rudolf "the Coffin Maker "... he & I sorta worked up in to " stir " both of us anticipating ....
One can read, some of that here as we waited for the Shipment ....
When , my gun arrived , I was under "orders" "fondle if you like, do not turn it" ....Mike instructed
Send it to him, he said, he'd work his magic.... and BOY ! DID HE
I can not attest to the OEM, in the box action " orders" remember ?
But what Coffin Maker sent back is a JOY to behold .... Mike is the real deal !
if you can, and I know he is retired , but if you can ...give him a jingle ...he is a world of Knowledge and share's it wisely.
with his tutorial , I have transformed with my hands , my 32/20 Marlin Classic & and a 97 Pump...
The Schaeffer was his to do, he insisted
....No safe queen it will be shot....
