Doug, please let me be clear. I did not for a moment read your post as being critical. I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I was simply trying to be clear about what my probable course of action would be once I take delivery and inspect the gun. smile

In fact I appreciated your post and the others from both enthusiasts like me and the truly knowledgeable and skilled like you. I think this is partly how we enthusiasts get to learn.

I don't take offence easily and I certainly never take offence at comments about my guns. First, they're just guns and second my personal self image isn't wrapped up in what others may think of my guns. I know why I buy them and I'm happy about that. laugh
