Notes from the gun shop...

It was quite an interesting day. Our change to a "Class III dealer" aka a dealer in title II/NFA firearms has upped the interesting factor. We did 7 transfers today, of which 2 were delayed (about average) for 11 firearms. Interesting firearms included an M16A1, not an "AR" but a sure-as-shootin' M16, selector switch and all and in A1 mode. Took me right back. For those interested it is only asking $20,000. This then excited a conversation and a trade of a Group Inc. 9/45/22 Uzi for 3 handguns and some cash. This is another full-auto gun. Hoooooorah! THEN we had a fellow bring in an OLD Belgian made Dixie Gun Works long rifle in .45 caliber looking for the fixin's. I have not seen one in quite a while. This one will require some fine steel wool and oil massages but it should shoot without much trouble at all. We also took in a Levever 12 ga. side by side that seemed in good condition. On top of all that a nice 4" Colt Police Positive Special .38 Special in its long time home, a left handed swivel holster, came to the shop for shipment to heirs out west somewhere. This fine old gun has just a bit of holster wear around the muzzle.

Then, too, we were graced by a visit from Clint and Debbi B_____ from Bedford. Clint dropped off a sizing die and top punch and picked up a Ruger P95 he'd layed away a couple of weeks ago. He also surprised me with a 1955 penny. NEAT! I like such things and I guess he figured that out. Thanks Clint. Unfortunately Clint was a bit out of sorts, he figured his sugar was low, and they had to leave all too soon to eat and get him back to normal.

But that wasn't all! I got to speak to my son today. Again, the conversation was all too short but I'm convinced he's still alive and that suits me fine for now. A great day all around...
