Maddog58, From Aug 6th to your last Post 13th, now being the 20th.... I am always interested in Cradle-to-Grave "Events". Can you, when you have time, denote every step you took. IE: If the first place you went was ______ and they slammed the door on you or were welcomed; Professionally...?
Example: If the first place you went to was Springfield and they are doing their part. If such is true did you stop there or did you initiate a parallel path and contact Winchester and/or someone else...?
If any one+ contact asked questions, did you offer up such verbally or email or pictorial...Macro pictures of weapon/ammo, send in receipts, parts, brass/ammo...?
Your story, unlike some threads, is helpful to readers so lessons learned may be shared. A Son and/or others could have been injured or killed. Spending your time to educate us will be, I'm sure; Appreciated.
