Hi Cal:

I'm sure you are a nice guy and all, but I hope we never meet - especially in a gun store. Sounds like I'd soon fall into a compulsive fit and buy something outrageous. Wait, ahhh - that happens anyway.

Well, fate is fickle and she does have a demented sense of humor. And that's all there is to that. (snicker, snicker)

Take care,

P.S. The canted barrel thing - I'm just dumbfounded by the problem. I assume it's a tool and/or jig and/or CNC problem. If it's a CNC matter, then really - fix the d___d thing! If it's tooling/jig related, then my guess it's a pure gross margin and total sales thing. The only thing that fixes that is leadership wanting it fixed, or eventually getting tagged as a company with quality issues in a high-end marketplace (think Mercedes and the h___ they eventually went through).
