CBL1 - Man, those pictures still make my heart flutter. The thread registered immediately in my memory even after all this time. I know what it's like to have to sell a cherished gun, I just hope you were able to eventually make up for it.

I recall not knowing much about E M Reilly back then. I did see on this forum a chap over your way with a beautiful Reilly 8 bore Dig found for him.

In the past year and a half I've purchased two E M Reilly .500 BPE's. They're quite nice as well, I must say!
