report as follows;
the old grouch - no one there was grouchy at all, actualy they were very friendly
, now thats what i expect when i walk into a surplus store, piles of stuff to dig through, nothing in any specific order, and actual .mil surplus. i picked up a few things
CMT - nice folks, nice recievers ... stripped lowers for $110. i'm guessing it will make a fine rifle for my little girl
of course i'll have to wait 17 years and 6 months to give it to her, but hey it gives me plenty of time to build it right
i also was able to gps a place called rex's guns and indoor range, E of hendersonville off of 26 ... when i walked in, i thought i was in heaven - ammo everywhere, all types,all calibers, and lots of it ... then i saw the prices and realized why
again thanks
