I love his work and I'd love to have a baby conversion, but $1,000 + the gun is a little steep, IMHO.
Not that he doesn't have that kind of time and workmanship into it, but you can get an awful nice collectors piece for that much... Assuming you had a $500 shooter to use.
But, if I had plenty of cash that I had no idea what I was going to do with, I'd be all over this one...
