Got an e-mail from CPA.

Don,

Not yet. I'm not going till Gail tells me that it's ready. I'm not taking any rifles with me this trip.

Dave.

Yes I will run out there again to pick it up. I wont let anyone ship my rifles. This time I will take the Northern rout through Canada to avoid Chicago, Gary Ind and Ohio. I don't like the big towns.
This rifle will also be chambered for the .44-75 Ballard Everlasting like the first rifle. The first rifle has a bad barrel and it also has a .22 barrel with it. The barrel maker made me a new barrel with correct dimensions (bore/groove) so I told him to sent it to CPA and I will have them build me another one so I don't have to keep switching the barrels from the .44 to the .22. Not a good idea anyway.
