I had a chance to see the stocks in person but obligations kept me from it. He has some real early stocks there also

Okay so now, I have noticed that that rumor was true about the barn...Kind of like the Like new Corvettes that are found.

Okay,
Excuse me, sometimes i write it wrong..Not this time as a rumor..I really like reading about it here..I believed Sean too.. these stocks were originally like scrap wood..I still have the images of stocks for $5.00 in a barrel in the surplus stores...Complete Old mausers and others for sale at $30.00 in the corner..Personally I hope the bug never bites me now that i have to consider a wooden stock worth a whole lot of money...I still like to think that there are some bargains out there just waiting at an Estate sale... My Son said he will proudly take care of the rifles i now own. In the mean time it is a Hobby that i enjoy, after-all this is supposed to be fun...I still like to fire most of my toys..

Rick is also a Pontiac Feiro nut. You can see a small glimps of it in the video, there is a blown 3.8 V-6 under the trunk lid of that little stinker.
