Thinking long and twice on CZ-- otherwise -- I'd like to explore their market value.

Things I could use: A Marlin -.357 1894CSS. I should be able to handle that small recoil, when all the Doc'in is done.

Also, I'd entertain one of the New Flattops in .45Colt w/longer barrel & SS. Mebbe blue, if the bbl was long enuff.

However, I can live w/o either -- as suggested above, got the basics covered already. And a small mixed bag of S&W's for entertainment. Am still looking over the AR-rifle field. Short? Long? Accessories? Sights, Bolt-on's.

Anyway, it's not so 'traumatic' as much as it is new freedoms and new futures, carrying a lighter load.

But then, y'all know that already.
