I like that one and several others being auctioned on the same date. The problem is that after all the additional fees including sales tax it adds 30 to 35% to the hammer price. They would have to almost give it away so I might as well ask Mike to give me one instead.

Mike, please send a free rifle to me immediately!  8)
