Come on Nixter, you know as much as anyone here, and have been around long enough to be one of our big extended family. Others here though, some of them fairly new posters, have yet to learn that we for the most part stand on our honor and an unspoken gentleman's agreement not to try to jump in on anothers dealings. It has always been (with a few glaring exceptions that have raised the ire and comments of many) the first to speak in interest of a purchase or trade held that position until it was determined the deal would not transpire. At that time the next to state an interest, usually with the caveat " if so-and-so doesn't want it I am interested" or "put me 2nd in line", was "up at bat" so to speak, that being said, we are all forgiven for minor transgressions during the learning curve here....
Merry Christmas to all, and kevtn I hope you enjoy your new .223 Survivor. The stock does not appear to be a classic style but I have grown to like mine on my coyote gun and you also might just learn to like yours also....<><.... :grin:
