Thanks Jerry, ed, I'll leave your 'favorite' out of it for now.

I'm kind of wondering if I can use and admire something without looking at the sides of the receiver being in the white. All else looks appropriate for its age. Maybe, there's a very reversible tide over till someone else gets to decide when I'm long gone. I'm not thinking to buy any particular product, only that there may be options available with a little different intention than perking up a bargain truck gun.
