Hi Tagger. Yes I have some of them. Bob was always a very good freind and from when I ist met him in the 60's he always gave me the oportunity to try his ideas out up here in Maine. Including some of his older proto's. The stuff I'm working on now is a mix of cedar and mahogany as the density of the wood helps balance the loading with lead. hardest part I'm finding is placement in the bodies.I have loads of different Atoms and am working hard to duplicate the actions as they work better tham almost all the new stuff out there.If I can come up withthe magic mix that Bob had but with the new woods of today well I'll trade you some. so far the balance point is the hardest as the casting and the action really affect each other with the different materials . They don't give the same weight by volume. Less wood more to balance an so on. I even have some of Bobs old hardware that I'm using which does help
