You can take that dollar and donate it to your favorite charity, or ar15.com. Or give it to Alf and he can make a phone call. I'm not sure that Whistler was the intended name, or just a code name for their project. I don't know why the need a damn code name if that was the case. I can't claim a dollar for something I didn't know anyway. I looked it up on the WWW. |
