I removed myself years ago from the habit of going to shows. But this year it's been different. A little more time and maybe a little more money to spend. Who knows. Nan and I went to Syracuse and met some of the nicest most polite people you could imagine. I was still somewhat surprised and what was being passed off as "honest" guns. I am thinking that either there's a large number of dishonest dealers out there some that are terribly uneducated. At any rate this gun has been in the works for several weeks. It's an "RS" and will letter as such. I have been wanting a pre-war "R" for years but just couldn't come up with one that I would spend the money on. Then this came along and I got pretty excited. A little investigating and I was able to comfirm that it is a true "RS" and not one that has had the Recfield receiver sight added.
