I'm very happy for my packrat friend Paul.  He was in a car wreck many years ago that made a mess of his neck.  Had to wear a halo for a long time, and it still causes him pain.  I'd have tried to snatch it away from him for a price he'd have been happy with, but when he and I are done playing with it, I'll likely put in on gunbroker for him.  Like most of us in this area, he could use the money, so I been straight up with him, let him know it's very valuable.  Yea, I'd like to shoot all next year, got to get on that Nazi Krag for the vintage, and I have to find someone that'll make me a decent pair of glasses.  The eyeglass makers seem to be fooling around, they don't care, they get paid by the VA right or wrong!  I've been over 6mo trying to get a useful pair!  If I don't get around to the Stomperud, I have my K31.  The Garand is ready, I'll never forget those 10 Xs in a row back in 2014, too bad 5 of them were sighters!
