The 'itch'.....

[Rick Mulhern]

Well guys....based upon what the Rdnck informed me of this morning.....I'm sending this rifle back tomorrow! I wasn't exactly pleased with the way the lock plate fit to the wood and when the Rdnck informed me this AM that on page 2 of the TOTW site there was a left-handed Great River rifle for sale in .54 cal. I called TOTW back and told them to hold that rifle for me and I was sending the one they had already shipped back! I haven't seen that rifle yet...and won't because I will send the boys at TOTW a few more $$$$ and get the other rifle the Rdnck informed me of! That rifle has a Ron Long lock system and being as how Bill has experience with the Great River rifle....I don't think I've done anything but better my position! I'll post photos of the dude when I get it! This won't be my first experience with a ML rifle as 40 years ago I bought a Thompson Center rifle in .45 caliber and it shot pretty well but I know a helluva lot more about blackpowder now than I did in those days!
