Chuck,
Who is the guy in CA? Is he in LA? I drove my golden from Iowa to LA to see a vet about a bad knee. Turned out, thanks to the vet that the knee was fine and the ankle was simply sprained. Recovery from what the local vet school wanted to do to him would never have been 100%.

I'd trust that LA vet with my life. He's expensive and worth every penny, plus the 3600 miles of driving and 5 days off of my life on that trip. His name was Rooks.

LeFusil,
Maybe I should sell my model 8. While I generally prefer straight grain to marble cake, I also much prefer used english guns to new german guns, and the english cost about the same. The 8 also lacks hammers (a major flaw in my books). But I continue to hang on to it for some reason.
