    Hey......... the glass is half FULL. Even if it's a shot out heap, you've still got a relatively rare rifle for bugger all - an they ain't makin' no more so they're made of unobtanium. You should see the state of some of the old shot out, clapped No32's that are out there.

    That's now the plan, a nice wall hanger for our new house in the future. Also a learning tool for re-bluing some old sporters that belonged to my great grandad. Its still a good project.
