Sean, cooooool!!! I think I must have read wrong about when your trip was, my bad. You have revamped your Grandfather's rifle nicely it sounds. Knowing nothing of firearms, I can say no more, but I bet you have it right to your liking. He (is he still alive? I missed that in drawing from the cobwebs of my mind) woulda been/is, proud of you. Things that come from our ancestors are very special, I have a few from mine too, small things, that would only mean something to me -- and of course, memories. You have fun on that trip, safe travelling, and yep, yep, we wanna see some pictures. Have that glorious and awesome day, lovin' life, with great health. Cindi
