I still have my doubts about whether Krieghoff is still replacing broken aluminum receivers at no cost. I would still like to have one of those Lightweight K-80s to play with. The auction was quite a hoot, and I should have bought way more than I did. I'm sure the internet buyers had a field day, this being their first opportunity to deal with Redding.
I had about talked myself into driving up Friday and preview . Now after the fact I’m glad I didn’t as I wouldn’t pay what was needed to buy what intrested me . The idea of going to Gettysburg Friday then Prospect Hall Saturday then possibly back to Gettysburg Sunday didn’t sound like fun .
