Good morning, I am sipping coffee and thought I write more. I am happy about a number of things. This thread reminds me of the old days on the forum. I remember Whitey and J.D. Steele and Michael
and how there was so much back and forth, sharing links to interesting guns, being happy when someone found something good. Sending parts back and forth to each other. I imagine a lot of us have
made friends here and continue to do that via e-mail, but it was nice to see this here and be reminded of the old days.
Ben, it was a real pleasure meeting you at the Missouri Valley Show. I enjoyed our conversations. I was so glad to read yesterday of the deal you got on the 52 and the 1929 NRA sporter. I am so glad that you
have the stock and that you will post some pictures of the completed rifle. It is great to know that this stock, the work of a skilled stockmaker, which probably sat for who knows how long and ended up sold on ebay by someone
that was cleaning out an estate is now going to be restored, united with an action and hopefully shot. I look forward to reading more.
