Gary, now that you mention it . . . . . .
The Mountie pictured below is one of the guns I bought after hanging around in the background at my local NAPA, watching someone trade it in. I bought it for $145 about 15 years ago. It was "finish challenged," so, on a whim, I sent it to Checkmate in Florida and had a matte nickel finish applied. The butt-plate was missing the white-line spacer, so I "fabricated" one from one of the wife's place mats. She still doesn't know where that place mat went.
I have yet to get around to re-doing the wood. Having too much fun shooting it.
