Beautiful piece....

I thought it was time to replace the standard PU sniper pics I've been using for over a year in our thread introductory monthly purchases post, so that's why you'll see it up there for a while. It will be a constant reminder to me that you have to be quick to get the good stuff.

Here's the "comments" I received from the dealer, as well as all of the pics that he sent me on it.
