Mr. Hicks,
I am not called 'Big Norm' because of my upward measurements. In my humble opinion, it comes from my remarkably talented ablity to grow a stomach.

Instead of sending you an email, howsabout my sending you a PM via the forum? I have a lot of Lugers and I am always on the lookout for a matching serial number on magazines and stocks.
I am tired right now, but I didn't really notice a real hostile comment on this thread. This forum is pretty widely polulated with very nice and talanted people. But it is also a teaching forum and sometimes comments that are intended to instruct others, who are learning but just reading the posts, comes across as hostile. Myself, I never, ever came across or intended that any of my comments to be actually hostile. (Hee! Hee! Do you believe that one?

)
Big Norm
