New Martz

Lodi Jim · 04-16-2003, 10:55 AM

Here's some pics of newly acquired 357Sig from John Martz. It has a little more snap than 9mm but is true to form in accuracy. Also attached pics of case I made for my Martz collection. It's French fitted sytle with cutouts lined in leather.

Great Guns, great display and carrying case!

How is Mr. Martz? I'm sorry, I haven't heard anything since he was hospitilized,

One of his 45 guns is my ambition, they have always interested me! But, it'd have to be a "shooter", <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Sweet! REally nice display!!

Those Gun mechanics like John Martz and Thor sure do nice work don't they!

What a superb bluing job and metal polishing on that 357Sig!

If anyone hears how John Martz is doing please post it.

I talked to John about three weeks ago and he's doing fine. A little tired, but to be expected with multiple by-pass surgery. He's 78 and still going at it. I have stopped going to his house cause every time I go I want to buy one of his guns.

Glad he is doing well... Thanks for the report.
