I wasn't able to attend the auction due to a prior commitment made earlier this year which entailed spending a few days with Memphis gunsmith M.V. Highsmith while my wife, who is a late 1970s Saint Jude survivor, was either registering or running the Saint Jude 1/2 marathon with a full marathon option. But at any rate, I too think moving to their new location was a huge hurdle and hopefully this year it will all come together. I'd say that Rock Island, Holt's, whomever, didn't begin in the state at which they are today and probably begin with a few examples and a hand full of Rook(card) players. So in comparing apples to apples, it is only fair to compare the early states of the aforementioned and CHG. True it is a business but I would consider CHG to be gun/collector friendly and at the very least offer something along our lines of interest. Today the largest lot of folks are anti-gun and anyone in my region making a pro-gun effort deserves my support.
Kind Regards,
