Thanks, Jake and All: The gun was bought out from under me this weekend. Strange the way those things work, as the dealer has had it for several years (although never displayed at less than $3,000, and quite a bit more than that for a couple of years). He who hesitates ... still has money to buy something else, I guess. Anyway, thank to all for the advice. Maybe it will help the guy who bought it. TT
