Default 629-3 Magna Classic Protoype with Keith Browns

This is the 629-3 Magna Classic that Lee had for sale on here. I wanted to show off the Keith Brown Ropers. These stocks had a lot to do with my decision to buy it. Keith is from Ohio and I have never been able to score any of his stocks. He makes each set by hand by himself. His work is the best I have ever seen of anyone anywhere. He is a true craftsman/ artist. He is also a good down to earth guy!

I have sent for a Factory Letter since this gun didn't with ship with a box/ product code. It was one of 7 prototypes at the January 1990 SHOT show. But according to Roy Jinks it actually shipped in May 1991! I am hoping to get little more info / insight from the letter.

That's a beauty. And no, I'm not going to ask you if you'll shoot it! Congrats.

Those grips are beautiful. I ordered a set of his 10 years ago. Now wish I'd bought several sets. Is he even taking orders anymore?
