Gun Fool
The "DUKE" has a new home.....
CYA friends:
What is probably the most iconic RFBR rifle of all time has a new home.
I had a call on my answering machine today from Tomi Korpi who I believe said he now owns the "Duke Of Earl".
You know CYA friends, we get older every day, and so do the barrels on RFBR guns.
The Korpi family is a major player in international RFBR competition.
I'd give anything if Tomi and his family could have seen the Duke back in its heyday.
I'd love to look at the bore of the Duke's barrel.....
Shilen Ratchets have a long barrel life, no doubt about that.
But, they do eventually wear out.
Your friend, Bill Calfee
