It's great to reconnect, plus got to leave my grubby fingerprints on fine firearms in both places. Unfortunately didn't manage to get to JT's place in time to catch up with him in person, but did have a brief chat on the phone. Anyone interested in a MKI Standard Ruger (6" barrel, IIRC), new in the original box with paperwork and an extra factory magazine? Don't know if $600 is a good deal or not, but as they say - "They ain't making any more of them." Let me know and I'll post the contact info.

I try to take a different example of a custom revolver whenever I get to visit Tom at his shop. In fact, the first Freedom Arms I ever bought I ordered through Tom then made the trip over the mountain to pick it up.
