Hello to all.
Was referred here by another forum; hope my question/thread is not out of line; if the mods feel it should be moved, please feel free to do so.
I am looking for a gunsmith I read about, years ago, in an article published my Mr. Ayoob. Here is a copy of the thread I posted over on the rugerforum.com :
Having read another post here about a specific gunsmith, it gave me an idea...
Many years ago (and this is from memory so details are suspect), IIRC, Massad Ayoob wrote an article in a magazine called(?) The Complete Book Of Magnums (late 80's early 90's vintage, I think), about a pistolsmith who was a past Ruger Armorer who had went into business for himself, and did work on the Six series of pistols. I think his name was Chris Peters, and the conversion/work done was called the Lynx. In the article, Mas used this gun in a shooting event (2nd Chance, I believe) Again, memory is suspect, so excuse any errors....
Way back when, I had the magazine, as well as info his shop sent me, from the address in the article, and the idea of a custom gun was beyond my means/interests, other than pictures, and all that paper is lost. But I never forgot about how highly Mas spoke of this fellow, and how much I liked the looks of the work.
You all are lots more connected to the Ruger world than I. Anyone here ever hear of this fellow, or maybe know of the article I am speaking? Can't recall the name of his shop, but I think it had "Trapper" or "trappers" in the wording. I have tried internet serches to no avail....
Any leads, or paper trails, would be appreciated, as I'd heally like to hunt down that article, too.
