Glad you're on the mend Mark, thought maybe we lost ya when you were MIA!!
That's scary, I was dealin with Remnut a few years ago, traded a 375H&H Encore barrel for a 35 Whelen Handi, and sold some other 375H&H stuff to him, was going to sell him an Encore pistol barrel when he got some more money. He had been in an accident a few months before and he was still having problems, when I didn't hear from him for a while I PMd him several times with no response. Finally his wife PMd me that he'd been hospitalized again, that he told her he was still interested in the barrel, so I held it for him. Never heard from him or her again, no answer on his cell phone, no replies to PMs, so I suspect maybe he never made it out of the hospital.
Take care,
Tim
