I have heard all sorts of good things about Pete Single. I have heard that he exclusively does checkering and other machine work for gunsmiths only.

How did you get him to work on your pistol?

That is a nice lookin' pistola. Congrats to Pete and you Shay. Pete does some of the finest work.

Shay, long time no talk to...hope things are well down there. Don't be a stranger.

Pete's name should be on a lot more pistols than it is, a real behind the scenes guy who does it all!

Shay, Bailey mentioned and described you to me the other day. I said, I think I met that guy in a Taxi line at SHOT. We talked about speaking Arabic and you mentioned having picked up bits of various languages over the years. Was that you?

You are right; Pete does not receive a fraction of the credit he deserves. The guy is a metal genius.

Hi Steve, long time buddy. I do read the posts and enjoy looking at these pretty guns you have been building

Ned, sorry man, not me. I would have definitely remembered a guy like you. Hopefully we will meet in the future.
