Jeff, you are right in your comments, I visited both Bishop and Fajen facitities, which was just down the road from each other some years ago. Fajen was a little modern than Bishop, but Bishop just seemed more friendly and was amazing to see the wood they had stored. Some wood stored was back when they first began. It was unfortunate that a few year after my visit Bishop Gun Stocks burned to the ground and, I think. Fajen was sold to MidwayUSA.
