No harm meant. I shop at all three, but have long been a fan of Kittery. Had a chance to speak with Tom up at the store. He had a Fox CE on the rack with the barrels hack sawed to 24".
And, then to add insult to injury someone took a stamp on a fine CE and stamped it XE. Why would someone do that? Single trigger, beavertail forend and ruined. Presumably someone with a set of proper barrels will buy it in and restore it to its proper configuration.
See you in Greenwich.
PS Nice case.
