There was a builder named Bob Watts from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He was an officer of NMLRA for several years. He was a moderately good builder. We had him build a rifle for my wife, a .40 cal. full stock cap buster. Bob died a number of years ago.

Sixty-one is no age at all. What a great loss that must have been.
