...so now I can stop asking if anyone has one!
THR member junkman_01 answered my mass PM in search of a Twister. He quoted me a price (which I won't mention, except to say that with shipping he asked less for his finished piece than Dixie currently has the kit listed at) and after nearly two months waiting for me to get the money set aside shipped it along to me.
I know that this would be useless without pictures, so here's a shot of it next to my '51.
I'd take close up pictures, but my cell phone is my only digital camera.
Overall I'd say it's probably 8.5 out of 10. Although, seeing that it's apparently nearly 30 years old and hand built by the seller (from a Navy Arms kit), it's really probably more like a 9.5. The only imperfections are some minor chips/dents in one side of the barrel and normal wear marks from where the rotating barrel meets the latch. I'd say it's in similar condition as my 10 year old DGW '51 Navy, which was NOT a kit.
I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Price was lower than I expected, excellent communication from the seller, and the piece is of superior workmanship (IMHO). 5/5 stars in my book!
