By the mid 20's his custom rifles were some of the most expensive made in America. In 1931 he moved to Tucson, Arizona and by 1935 he was the head of Winchester's custom department and was involved with the development of the M1 carbine. He made a try-stock for the Model 21 and helped fit people at Abercrombie & Fitch on weekends. He passed away in December of 1959.
