Ahmed577,

You have my guarantee of the character of my friend. He will bring neither of us any shame. He is "one to ride the river with".

He would appreciate the guns "in build" as much as the guns in their completed form. He has spent much time spotting, filing and sanding.

When he is advised by "she who must be obeyed" as to their itinerary I'll let you know.

Thanking you sir for your very kind offer.
