So I see that this has become about me and not a fine old rifle. OK

Let's set the record straight.

I didn’t ask for anything, free or fast, nor did I ask to be spoon fed. NitroX offered (on April 12)....now it's really simple, if you are not going to follow thru then don’t make the offer.

Instead of getting all pissy a gentleman would have explained that he was simply too busy right now to make good on his unsolicited offer of help.

Contrary to his implication, it was ~13 days from when he got the E-mail with the pictures until I asked if anyone else could post them...making an assumption the individual had either lost interest or was too busy.

I did not solicit any help nor did I start the nastiness.

Now does anyone care to hazard a guess on what the meaning of the large S is near the 40 on the bottom of the barrels?
