[quote=Calhoun]On a totally different subject... though maybe we haven't explored this one in-depth enough? Anyway..
Got in my rifles in from John's estate auction last night. UPS gorillas pretty much totally destroyed the boxes they were shipped in, but fortunately each gun was wrapped in about 3" of bubble wrap and came through okay. It was sad to open up the invoice and read the included factory letters from JTC to John, he'd given me the serial numbers and dates for all his letters in April to help refine date ranges for the book.

The thought of having a gun I buy shipped to me makes me cringe. I like my fancy guns and want them to still be in the shape I bought them in when I get them. I bought a gun from that auction company before and drove to Cleveland to pick it up.
