well, jimmy, seattle is 2200 miles from FW, not 1500. the gas tab would have been $440 on a gun costing $650. and besides that, as far as i'm aware it wouldn't even be legal for me to drive to washington state and sell a gun to an individual. it'd still have to go thru a dealer. and there was no point in going to show after show trying to sell a custom mauser 35 whelen that was stocked and configured to look like a pre-wwi brit express rifle. that kind of stuff doesn't sell around here.

you do it your way and i'll do it mine.
