Thanks Brian. A friend mentioned that maker as well.

Keep in mind, gun shops are generally not open on Saturday and Sunday.

If possible, visit Crockart in Blairgowrie. Great little gun and fly rod shop, not to mention single malt.

It was within our lifetimes when American retailers were closed on Saturdays and Sundays as well but shareholders and BOD's put an end to that silly practice... all for the almighty dollar.

Dan, you already have something incredibly valuable -- an understanding and supportive wife. I predict great things for your collecting.

Off topic but: In small town South Georgia, Sunday yes. After all you should be in church. Saturday however was when everyone came to town to shop. Actually the busiest work day of the week. Now days everyone is closed on Saturday and they sell beer on Sunday.

Mention Scottish guns and The Double Gun Journal, Volume Ten, Issue 1, page 141 to 145, comes to mind.

Hammerless and 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 chambers. Considering the body of knowledge present in this group it seemed like the obvious place to start my search for information. As my lovely and talented wife will likely be present for the transaction, I'd like to be in the $10k and less range. BTW, I've already begaun to lay the ground work by suggesting we find something special for her on the trip in the same price range. :cool:
Bling, Bling:)

I do in fact Gary. I do however have a recurring nightmare that I die suddenly and she sells all of my guns for what I told her I paid for them. :-)

Thanks Dave. Those are instructions I can follow.
