I try not to take up much of the proprietors time, but I always walked away having learned something,

That's why I miss Ivory Beads. When Jim and Jerry were in business in So Cal, they had a very large conference table in their showroom, with chairs and fresh (usually) coffee. We always made it a point to stop in there on our way back into town from hunting trips. Grab a cup of coffee and some BS'ing about shotguns. There were usually a few reprobates in there, sometimes serious customers, and always some interesting guns either in inventory or customer guns sitting on the table. I learned a lot from that group, and even bought a few guns that I was not even shopping for. Great shop, great attitude. I miss those guys.
