Just getting back on. That's a nice double from one of England's better makers...wow! Ought to bring home the bacon or goose! :wink: :haha:

I, too, have been off-line. Beautiful!

I would not have noticed the grip safety had you not pointed it out. Never saw one like it before

Thanks for sharing. I am feeling a bit covetous.
