They should have offered a muzzle thread, though. Va t'in tch�re !

I think Gre-Tan has a spring replacement to remedy any ejector problems. Honorary Gouger per Travis

But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice. Doug

I spoke with the guy who designed the stock and the rifle is his baby with the company. It feels nice in hand...I'll give it a second go today. I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
