Sorry to hear about the dead end. I guess you could peruse the auction sites and hope one pops up, but short of that I guess Im out of ideas.
As for CVA dropping the traditional line......well I guess Im kinda sorry. The guns are not exactly $400 Thompsons, but they offer some decent "traditional" guns at a price the average Joe could get into. Oh well, I guess Ill keep my Mountain gun and thank m'lucky stars....
