The thing that impresses me most is that little blue badge inside the case (and what it represents).

Thanks Ken. Keep in mind that crazy bastards like Jorge helped bring a lot of us home in one piece. A grunt has a looong memory of those who helped and cared. grin Jim Martin

grinPukin' Buzzards Ethan??? grin Sounds like a case of envy to me grin I hoisted one back at ya with Maker's Mark. The rifle is a #3 Sporter, 28" barrel. The bullet mold is custom made for that particular rifle (paper patch mold). Weight is about 10 lbs. It was custom ordered as a pure hunting rifle. It balances and hangs SWEET! grin Now that Swabbie will be properly armed when he goes to shoot big tasty critters anywhere he wants to go.

Ladies and gentlemen what can I say in response to ET's generosity? I really don't deserve this. He's a combat wounded veteran and a true hero and he's honoring me??? All I can say is that I will do it justice and promise to take lots of pictures at my retirement ceremony and he has my eternal respect 7 gratitude, but he already knew that. I am truly blessed to have friends and a brother in arms like Jim. jorge
