The Merkel arrived today, and it is better than I had hoped. I also got the Geyger receiver and stock, so I can start minor stock repair at the scallop.

If you ever have dealings with Dale Nygaard know that you could trust him with your wife or daughter...even with your best gun dog!

Dale is importing some fine German guns. He and the maker are working on a "standard" grade boxlock DR in 450/400 at a price of around $12,000.00. I've seen photos of some of the maker's work, and it is superior.

Dale has some nice sxs shotguns on GunsAmerica in the Shotguns-German section. He has advertised an interesting SXS Sauer 16ga w/scope for slugs...for $550.00
