Well Stan, I managed to miss you. You were away from your table. I guess I'll just have to say Hi twice at Dixon's. I'm glad I made the show. I got to see and handle a really nice 1760 ish trade gun on par with the I Bumford gun that Colonial Williamsburgh owns. Positively awesome! The timing couldn't be better as I am waiting for Ed Rayl to finish the barrel formy own trade gun. BJH
