yahoo I found a C riser I worked on the serial number is C-1718 total restoration and she's lefthanded..bd

[Moooseran]

I'll ask again. Are we adding the 1973 Victor Custom Viking to the "C" list ??

[Wade Phillips]

Moose - Bernie is the man in charge of the list. If you send him a PM, I'm sure he will answer you. We may have put him on overload for awhile with giving him all three lists A-B-C. He may not want to expand any of the lists beyond the initial 1969 to 1972 dates. That is his call.

Now, you could always start another thread for the 1973 Victor Custom Viking...

While you are at it, if Doc isn't going to start one for the limbs, you could do that too... Hopefully nobody will notice how I am trying to volunteer everyone else to do the work...

[CrookedStick]

Oops...wasn't thinking I had the power of yeah or nay.

Sorry for the delay Moooseran.  I'll tell you what, let's add it here, I'll put it in a separate spot, and if we get a bunch of them we'll spin off another thread because they went for a few years...let's see how many we get.

Deal?

What're yer specs?

Another great photograph to round out the whole batch. Your A-B-C are a very impressive collection. Thanks again for posting photographs for everyone to enjoy.

[CrookedStick]

Abear,

Another great pic. Thanks for sharing. And it looks like Moose's Victor Custom Viking will have company in its special spot on the list.

Wow, I could just look at that great wood collection all day long.

I sent ya a PM.

All I have to do is find my 2 "C" riser. I hid them and have to remember where........moose

[CrookedStick]

Great Moose,  

Kinda like a friend of mine who bought a new safe for the garage. He hid his torch head when he went on vacation so the bad guys couldn't use it to bust the safe.  Took him 6 weeks to find the torch head when he got back!   :eek:  

Good luck finding the riser.  As long as you are at it, please make some pics--'em r beautious!

Thanks Moose,

Do we have the Fred Bear sig. B-riser from the cover of Trad Bowhunter Mag a few months ago?  The one I think he signed to himself.  I think the photog's name was Moose...can't be two of you!
