karma and the dust cover
#386270 - 09/08/24 03:13 PM

I had to tell someone and I thought you guys would appreciate this story.
Yesterday morning I had a phone call from a guy in Sudney who had purchased a Lee Speed that I sold a while ago. We had previously had a nice chat about that particular rifle. Anyway He is currently looking for a dust cover for another Lee Speed that he had just purchased. he asked me if I had one spare. they are like hens and I don't have one. fast forward to yesterday afternoon, I was in a local gunshop buying a bottle of media for my brass tumbling machine and I just decided to rummage thru a box of "clearance" bits and pieces, old scope mpunts and scope covers and,,,,, a Lee Dust cover in a plastic bag with a price tag of $2.00! the guy in the shop had no idea what it was. What are the chances of that happening!
I just mailed it to him as a gift.

Don't go buying any lotto ticket I think you just used all your luck. That was a great find.

The big fella upstairs let you get that for a song for all the help you give us mere mortals on this site!
Richly deserved indeed!
