I just checked the phone book, ackerman gun company: 701-483-6503, His home #: 701-225-7966.

Dave Logosz Home #: 701-225-9461

That sure doesn't sound like work Dave would do. He built Silhouette pistols for a lot of the Champion shooters when that disipline was hot. Maybe things have changed. He did most of my competition gun work back in the 80's and 90's and I won a lot of Championships with them. I do know that he has had some major health problems as of late, and maybe that is affecting things. I will have to find out what is up. Thanks. Russ

While most of the time I would say rpeacock is just full of BS this time I will agree with him 100%! Logosz in the 80's and 90's did 10-12 barrel jobs or rechambers for me and his work was always impeccable and top notch. At that time anyway probably the best smith machinist for a considerable distance and has built many winning rifles and pistols. Last I heard his machining projects have been mainly LR Black Powder. I know he has had major health issues most probably related to his Vietnam tours.
