Absolute ripper and extra special with the full length rib and express sights. I bet you are glad that you persisted.

One of the chaps in the BGRC is having similar dramas after winning a 500NE double rifle from Verney Carron worth $20000 in a raffle at the international shoot in South Africa. It has been a year now since he won the rifle and is having the same sort of troubles that you had with all sorts of excuses about government departments etc. I may mention your approach to solving the problem to him next time I see him.
