Steve;
Good afternoon sir, I hope the last Friday in May has been a good one for you and you're all well out east.

For sure I remember their adds in the Gunrunner newspaper we used to get.

They were where I ordered the 96 Swede from which I modified into a hunting rifle for my father in '86 I believe it must have been. If memory serves I paid the $5 premium for "extra clean" and this one made in 1903 appeared unfired as there was no wear on the bolt fact at all.

This was passed back to me when he wasn't able to hunt anymore due to his health, with his hope that one of the grandkids might get it. As it turned out Steve our eldest spotted the odd looking full wood stock in the back of the safe when she started hunting and claimed it as her own. It's still her main hunting rifle today.

Thanks for the memories of days long passed Steve and all the best to you all this weekend.
