Above the shop door is Bill's collection of vintage gunpowder cans. The whole shop is full of obscure and fascinating gunmaking supplies, such as the cabinet at left, or the drawer full of chamber reamers below. | |
Below are snapshots of some of the equipment used in making guns and cartridges. These are actual pictures of a working shop, not something prettied up for the camera. | |
Besides being a master gunsmith, Bill is also a competitive shooter. He won the plaque in his hand for shooting the target shown at right in the "Varmit Hunter" class. He shot 50-3X (the target shows a group under 1 inch at 300 yards) with his own rifle in .22 Remington BR. (A smaller version of the lefthand photo also appears on the About Bill Truitt page.) | |
