 Ok you are real funny :D  You are trying to tell us you got your gun back in 5-6 days and it is accurate too? LoL you had me going. You just got up from your nap didn't you?
 
  :)  Congratulations sounds like you should have bought a lottery ticket.

Believe me not my usual fortune the replaced barrel was .357 but was ringed ahead of the chamber ,but still shot fairly well this .44 is has a nice looking bore and is .430 which I appreciate as 99% of my shooting is cast bullets . No I have never bought a lotto ticket man plans the odds are God's,but a long toward daylight the blind hog finds acorn that would be me .
