He said he had told the seller to take the gun off the table as he thouhjt he had a buyer for a lot more than the $3,000m he was asking...

The seller was NRA's Jim Baker and I bought the gun for the $8,000 I had said I thought it was worth. Allan told me he thought I made a good buy and he was right. When I sold it years later I didn't lose a penny!!!

Allan was a friend of Jim's and a friend of mine and he didn't want to see either of us get hurt by making a bad deal.

Thanks Allan!!
