Hawken, you going the extra mile to help rfd get in touch with the builder was certainly a nice gesture on your part, thank you for doing that!  
Caring and kindness goes a looong way in the TMA!

If u r near central Texas we can meet and u can shoot my .40. Barrel is 7/8x42".  Been shooting it since '83. Hangs good but may be heavy for some.  I'm 6'5" and over 270 lbs.  I do find after a day of shooting it I'm more tired than 30 years ago but I'll be 69 this year.

I don't think a rifle should swing like a shotgun nor should a shotgun hang like a rifle.
