When it rains it pours. Got an SF-VI in a horsetrade at the gun range and went over to pick up the box and papers for it Monday morning and the guy (reading my mind like a Gypsy) said, "Hey, look at this...an SF-VI companion piece for that 4" you got from me yesterday in a 2" version". I...

CHEVELLE427. Hello, neighbor. Which end of the county do you live in? I'm in Cantonment.
