If the dead know, he's rolling over in his grave. :lol: I actually had DOJ call me and tell me to withhold delivery on a pistol.. they said there was a discrepancy with the buyer. When he gave me the name ...

Update....Hunts are starting to book up, especially October. If you're procrastinating don't wait too long. If a group of you want to get together say 6-8 or so I will go to bat for you to get a further discount, if you book as a group. Be well, Ornery
