trg,
Yes, it is so. I saw the gun in question, lo these many years ago.
I guess they did not want to repair the mistake, because it would have cost them a barrel. And 20 some years later, we are still sitting around discussing their "P" poor customer service. Man, that's a plant that bears bitter fruit.
Keith, I forget, whatever happened to that Grand Rifle? Seems I recall Jay had it for a while afterwards or am I wrong on that.
