I suggested something like $3 million to which he replied that they had turned down $4 million just weeks before they were displayed at the Banquet. So now they have turned down $5 million... I wonder if the offered sum might ever be accepted? I sure hope not. It's nice to know that they can be viewed by the public anytime someone wishes to visit the National Firearms Museum.

Me, a player? Not even by an extremely loooooong stretch!
you could have just made the excuse that none were small bores so you'll pass
