The first was one of the Lipsey's adjustable sight blued Bearcats. Thrilled about that (at wholesale) I then scored a .17 HMR Contender barrel. NOS from a closed shop, I never had a HMR barrel although I'd thought of getting one several times. However, that Bearcat. Really neat. We also ordered/wish listed the stainless version. They sent another Shopkeeper.

Went and looked....very cool!
I had the impression that the Shopkeepers were drying up. But they are still shipping? Hmmm, have to keep my eyes open.
I was surprised to see the Shopkeeper in the

We also got a NICE war finish Webley MK IV .380/200.

What is the barrel length of the Bearcat? I was hoping for a three incher.

Every time she gets a break, everybody else does too....makes traveling crowded.
Will we see you in Clarksville?

It's difficult to say where this particular ride will end. I have been given a pretty generous severance so the "need" isn't really there. In fact, I could ride it out and then be eligible for unemployment which, after it runs out, would leave me durn close to retirement status.
I have been running the traces with the "transition service" hired by the company. I'll get a nice resume and some interviewing skills out of the deal. Who knows? I may need them. A good friend is also starting up his own company and something may come of that.
Melodie and I are in a good place with our heads, our hearts and our wallets. We also have the Lord in our corner. I have no real anxieties for what is to come. Still and all, I appreciate you thinking of us.
Yes we will see you in Clarksville

My son's is sweet. He ended up polishing the chambers for
Easier ejection. Without a full length ejector rod it was hard to get the shell cases out.
