The ribs of BSS sidelock were not matted. AyA no. 2 rib not matted but some squiggles at the breech. Ancient Flues 4E factory swamp rib? You guessed it, not matted. Did Conn. Shotgun spec a matting option or did you assume it would be? Number 1 among the reasons, given my immense talent for taking my own ideas and previous experience for granted, that I prefer to see the firestick B4IBUY. The distinction between bespoke and cookie cutter potluck also appears to be regaining some strength among the "devout". The one thing that prevents this gun from being a production gun is the missed window of production. Are they making their 30 per month? Sad to see the funereal atmosphere on ground where so may pep rallys have been held. However, I can now hold my own party: Coming to your consignment rack soon--the fabulous RBL!
