I examined one at the gun show today.

I fail to see what all the excitement is about. I found the thing heavy, and somewhat unwieldy (muzzle heavy).

It was on the tables of Larry's Guns, Garra; apparently NIB. Either come to the Bellemont show tomorrow in BR, or call the guy and come over here one night next week, if he doesn't sell it first. He's local here in BR.

No clue what the asking price is. I wasn't interested enough to look.

You need to handle mine.
It's quite different from a stock one.
I think even you would approve!

They were going for around 650-699 at the Gonzales show.
There should be several at the Kenner show on the 25th.

Yeah they are an entirely different beast once they have been customized!

I called Kemo and am gonna get one thru him, possibly two even, along with some other goodies.

I don't like/trust the durability/feel of the mags...

You bought one of these? Say it ain't so!!!

You gonna bring it to the Thursday night follies? If you do, remind me to squad with someone else. Not that _I_ mind, you understand... but some of the purists will go ape-****..... and I don't want to become collateral damage...

Bought a Tromix.

You'll probably have little use for it, since it's set up more for sporting clays than for trap. (This, of course, guarantees that Pangris will have no use for it at all).
