Rex Firearms Co. ?

As someone who has always been fascinated with NYC and somewhat recently developed an obsession with S&W - This is one of the best and most interesting threads I have seen on this forum. RIP tired Gunsmith. You became A legend to me after reading this!
 
Got on the forum this morning and to my surprise I see one of my threads from 2009. This is great! Thanks for bringing this back around.

Man I have to tell you this thread brought me a lot of joy. Very very interesting. When I previously commented I was doing the math thinking that tired gunsmith said he was going to be 90 in 2009 when I re-read it just now it was 2017 when he said that not 2009. Lets hope he is still alive and kicking. I apologize.
