OK, I will ask - Who is Mcgowin rifle co?

Interesting,  McGowan is/was located in on near St. Ann IL east of Kankakee near the Indiana line. Harry made barrels for many years starting with machines he got from the WW II Armory there in IL.  HE made really really accurate barrels and did very high quality general riflesmithing.  I heard some time back that his son (s?) had taken the business in hand. it is, or at least was until fairly recently, advertised in RIFLE magazine My friends and I had several guns built or remodeled by Harry back in the days when you could keep your rifles and handguns in a college dorm room on a midwset campus without anyone raising an eyebrow.  He was the nearest quality gunsmith we knew about--about an hour or two drive away.  It was always a joy to go over and spend a little time with him.

the McGowin/AmericangunLLC link is for Kallispel MT,  Its a different spelling and a significanlty different location  It'd be interesting to know how they are affiliated with Harry's old outfit and even more about their products.  not much info on their website

I spoke to Jon Frost yesterday he told me that the prototype is done and they are machineing parts now. This is the first run so they are going slow to make sure that everything is right on all the parts. He told me that all their parts will interchange with origional Winchester. They are shooting to be ready around the first of next year. With the price of an action in the $800 range. They are planning to produce single, single-set, and double set triggers.

Oh!   I would like to offer my most humble appology.   

Hey,  You should see what Ruger is including as a trigger lock with their new 10/22's.  It is almost guaranteed to scrach every thing that comes near it.
