It was paid in full. I was recommending them to others back then and my Wife asked if I'd ordered one. When I said no, she said "you better put my credit card where your mouth is and get one!" I shot two rounds of Skeet with it yesterday and except for high one I did well with it. With almost no pitch and a rather slick butt plate, you have to concentrate to keep it on your shoulder. One of my friends said he ordered his with the shorter LoP with the idea of adding a recoil pad. The gun weighs in at 6 pounds 3.8 ounces.
