I like it Mathman, wonder how much that old man spent pouring me three fingers of Pappy Van something 25 year?
I don't know, but I don't suspect the rifle had a discount price on it.
It was the coolest day Sir, the old Man was 86, his Daddy and his men were saved by my Grandpa in WWII, his Grandpa bought the rifle in Dodge City Kansas in the early 1870's, his Daddy last fired the rifle before i was born in 1963, i thought enough of the rifle to drive up to Kansas and get, instead of having shipped, the old Man wouldn't accept my check, as he was putting it back into my front shirt pocket, he was saying, "who better in the world should this rifle go to"?...................
Yep, i got watery eyed ; ]
