I don't get a Christmas present. I went out and bought this last week.

My present wish list item would be a call from my stockmaker to tell me that he is ready for me to come up for a final fitting on a custom gun I have been waiting 2 1/2 years for.
Mine is supposed to be "the one" he is working on now, finally, but we shall see. Realistically, I'm expecting the summer but a call would be a great Christmas present.

I don't expect it to make it in time for Christmas, but the No. 5 Ideal making its way from France is in the hands of the importer, awaiting the form 6. Almost two years since I paid for it, and I look forward to finally holding it.
Franc, my thoughts and prayers for your wife... a gentle reminder of what's really important.

Romac, if your gunsmith is my gunsmith, you are mistaken. He is working on my gun now. My Christmas wish has always been a .410 Parker with enough choke to shoot a good sporting clays round. I finally took care of that wish this week. It will take me a day or so to gift wrap it.

Franc my prayers to you and your. I can see Chuck is gong to be a very bad boy next year.  Eightbore I understand the wrapping problem. Drool does make tape not stick to paper. Pictures? Details? Sad is the fact that we have to wait too long for toys.
