I have no isea how the little Savage came to be as rusty as it did. When it came to me as one of a bunch of guns given to me by the elderly sister of a fellow in Vt who had passed away a few years earlier, there was no thumb screw, no clip, and when I handed it to you it was missing the bolt. I had misplaced it. Some months later I found the bolt and sent it to you but despite both of our endless searching of the Internet and elsewhere, no clip could be found.
At least a year later while I was at grouse camp i was rummaging through an old bucket of odds & ends mixed with dust and mouse turds I discovered a little clip for a .22. I thought it might belong to a little .22 automatic pistol but I put it in my pocket and took it home with me as nobody who comes to grouse camp these days even has a .22. It must have been in that bucket for decades left there by "who knows who"...
And so I sent it to you Edgar, thinking maybe you, being the wizard of all things possible, could somehow make it work in the little Savage.
But I never expected the expletive laden response from you when you called to tell me it was the exact clip for the Savage and the accusations that it was I who inadvertantly and absent-mindedly brought it to Vermont and dropped it into that bucket.
And that, dear readers, is the rest of the story.

OK, Dean, now calm down and take your pills. We'll all eventually get this way so there's no reason to get upset.................poor Kathy.
