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

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.

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. :-)

I almost forgot , the shoot I attended last Saturday one of my friends had a McNaughton that had been sleeved by Dixon . Another friend had a McNaughton and another guy I just met had a Dixon unless I’m mistaken they were all Scottish guns .

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.
