Thanks for the feedback, Gents.
UPhiker, I own a number of military surplus guns that are used, and I'm fine with that, given that they were military issued, and I'm unlikely to ever find a new Lee Enfield, for instance. But when it comes to civilian guns, I want to be the original owner. I want all the miles on the engine to have been put there by me. Many folks don't have that hang-up, and I get that. That's how I personally feel, though. As I mentioned, Miroku has been decided on. My only debate is as to which model/ cartridge.
