Gang,

The 1927 Christoph Funk 400/350 from Champlins has arrived. You should have seen me, I was like a god-damn kid on Christmas; I could barely contain my exuberance. George shipped it disassembled, so first I carefully inspected it, property lubed all the moving parts with brileys grease and assembled it. What happened next changed my life forever. I mounted the rifle and it felt like a natural extension of my body. For all of those fellows out there who have tried to describe the “feel” of a pre-war double to us who have never owed one – I get it! In my words, I can on think or one: magic wand. Needless to say, the craftsmanship is stunning and the wonderful mechanical sounds it makes compared to my Chapuis and Merkel is music to my ears. Once the ammo arrives the range report to follow.
