Yeah - I know you used to could get them SUPER cheap :-) But I missed
the boat on that years ago! LOL The one our son has was given to my
wife by her uncle several years ago. He had had it a long time, so it
was probably one of the 'cheap' ones. :-)

Thx for the input - read about Empire Arms as well, but still thinking
the Gander deal might be the best one for one that will be 'mine' and
not someone else's for the last 20+ years...
