Maker of his own release trigger at Grand American
Retired putty knife salesman Streuber built a release trigger for a Browning handgun in a workshop over three hours after being told it would take months from manufacturers. He prefers DIY tinkering to buying ready-made devices, praising his own methods and recalling how the Grand American has changed since 1948. He lives in a military tent instead of a luxury RV, challenging the notion of the modern Grand American experience.
