Hi, I'm glad things worked out so well for you. I too have been very lucky. Got some good deals and some good guns in great shape. My most recent purchase is a German gun, the ejectors don't work, I called the seller to tell him that. He told me to get it fixed at his cost - his words "Send me the bill". That to me is a great seller. So far so good for me.
BTW, does Mike have a web site? I'd be interested to see what he has.
Again, as our friends across the pond say "Good show, old boy".
All the best!
Greg
