JR, You are right, I don't think he really appreciated it for what it is worth, or for what I put into it. Of course I didn't give him any monetary figures. He did enjoy opening it on his B-day and knocking down a few doves with it before the vine tripped him up opening week. He is not clumsy at all and in fact played college b-ball and baseball, so it was a true fluke that he fell. He normally shoots a silver pigeon 20, so he is starting from one notch above a Mossberg! I will post on the stock when it is done. I will say in encouragement to Stan that I was able to buy it from Steve at a significant discount to the asking price. I am not sure how the new management (Steve's stepson?) handles pricing, but Steve was always ready to deal.
