Stu,
Me too. I love odd and unique guns. This just feels neat in your hand. I am going to start rust bluing. This will be a good one to start with. If it doesn't come out perfect. It will still be a great shooter and about anything would be an improvement.
Since I work for Joe and we are very good friends, I have an unlimited lay-a-way plan. Money's no object, until he wants a payment.
