It's not all about searching for junk science to support bans on lead ammunition for hunting. Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Condition was not as bad inside as I'd feared, but service was way (80 years?) overdue. Thanks again to all.

Apparently, they are the only supplier in all of Canada! They also have multiple locations in other cities.
