[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 3436074, member: 385"] While I was at Nowlin (1999-2003), guns leaving the Keatonville shop passed John Sr's quality, performance and functionality standards or they didn't go out the door. Before and after, as well as rarely during this time frame, some pseudo Nowlins were put together. The Nowlin marked components were available through Brownell's for a time and that's typically the source of the materials for pseudo builds. John Sr's active gun building days were mostly prior to 1999. He could build an excellent gun. I treasure my single Sr-built 1911. Sr trained several gunsmiths along the way, some of whom are still active. I have one built by his most apt student; it's a fantastic 1911. The current Nowlin barrels and parts, made by one of Sr's daughters, are done the way Sr would have wanted. [/QUOTE]
