Default Re: Jerry Fisher, Gunmaker

Barry,

Thanks for introducing Jerry to the forum. He is considered by many to be the finest stockmaker in the USA and a fine gentleman. I am fortunate to have a custom Ruger #1 stocked by him in 1981. It is the finest gun I own.

Montana seems to be full of the finest gun craftsmen. The last I knew, the famous Austrian engraver, Franz Marktl lived in Marion, MT. Also there are engravers Bill Gamradt in Missoula, Jerome Glimm in Conrad just to name a cople off the top of my head. I believe knifemaker/engraver Heinrich (Henry) Frank is also in Montana. Quite a pool of talent.

Roger
