The first Reeders I noticed were in Shotgun News adds

He ran an add in there every week. A fantastic publication it was. This was late 1980's. Gary advertised TC customs at very good prices Turn-key around $700 and all engraved up. Some very exotic calibers shown to get attention. It was all very alluring. I couldn't wait for the mailman to bring the paper to me each week (?). It was bliss.

I actually bought my first Reeder gun used. It was a 5-shot stainless Blackhawk .475 LB conversion. Standard grip too! It was a killer. Later I had it reworked into a wonderful African Hunter version with cherry laminate Gunfightered grips. That made a huge difference. Sadly, I sold it to another Misfit (that helps) to sponsor a .510 GNR gun. I went all in on .51 cal. for my really big bore. Because I could not get a .52.
