    Hi, Flashhole.

    I've been very pleasantly surprised by prices at our local Rural King store. Seems you can get some new guns for prices about the same as pawnshop used ones.

    SteveM is one of the good guys.

    I just completed a purchase from SteveM and it got here fast, as described, well packed. And he was generous including extras. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.
