Now I know you old boy's would never do anything like peening the hook but there are several dealers in the states that have done this and worse to try and fool an unsuspecting buyer into purchasing such a clunker!

here is one for you guys: A few years back while attending the winter gun show in Las Vegas, a friend of mine was looking at some shotguns on a well known dealers table. He picked up one that had particularly nice black streaks running thru the butt stock. He happened to run his thumb across one of the streaks near the rear of the stock and guess what? The beautiful streak disappeared!! He showed the dealer, whose face got a very bright red and he claimed that he had just taken the gun in on trade and had no knowledge of this!! Yeah right!

Metal spraying or flame spraying has been used for years in the US. The first time I saw it in use was at United Airlines maintenance base in San Francisco. It is actually a process where the metal part that needs additional material is placed on a motorized pedestal and the operator controls the speed of the revolutions while holding and gun that looks very similar to an arc gouge. When he pulls the trigger the metal roars out of the tip and onto the part on the pedestal. When finished the part is remachined back to it's original tolerances. Very neat.

After two years in Vietnam, I have no intention of getting into mud unless it is absolutely unavoidable! I am also a person who does not like hot temperatures but on the other hand enjoy freezing temps and snow. I love Africa and Alaska but given a choice for a permanent enviornment, I would choose Alaska.

Yep, and the sweat was quickly wiped away!!
