It was a gun shop in Bullhead City Arizona, but the name escapes me at the moment.

My gunsmith laughed when I asked him about it. He told be to just spray the hell out of it, clean the barrel, dry it off, and go shoot it some more.

Given the fact that I said not only in the thread title, but several times in the first and following posts, that I was not interested in NAYSAYERS, that I had HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, and that I SIMPLY DON"T CARE about "perceived value", you still felt it necessary to grace us with your wisdom on...
