    As if I didn’t fucking know that already ??
    That just hardened my resolve to get it done.
    Nelson did it no questions asked and was very good to deal with throughout the whole process.
    My boy now has a tidy little shotty that belonged to a Grandfather he never met.
    I’ve done the same with a 1920’s Stevens .22 that I learnt to shoot with., given it to my boys wife.

    Money well spent
