Well, went and picked up my lay away today; a 4 gauge flintlock needing a little work;
Here it is next to a .223 Interarms bolt action rifle:

Anyway, saw a S&W model 27-2 in the case priced at only $450.00 and thought, wow! that's a good price.
Asked them to take it out of the case and handled it, action beautiful, some carry(holster) wear, notably on the end of the barrel, nothing serious. Then I thought, "I already have a nice 27-2 in 6 1/2" (this one was 8 3/8") and I probably wouldn't carry this one much because of the long barrel"
Then I thought, "but it has a nice pair of original wooden grips and I need one for my 6 1/2" (it wears a pair of Pachmyers, which was on it when I bought it)
Anyway, while I was pondering and wavering the owner said "Because your are a regular customer, if you want it I will let it go to you for $400.00.
Got out the checkbook and laid it away.
So... here I am again, figuring out how to pay for another laid-away gun.
Oh well, I can always blame it on the sickness.
Just thought I'd share "My name is Vern....and I am a gunaholic"
