He's doing well, or at least as well has he can. Old age is finally catching up to that ba****d but he's still kickin'. Just about quit doing gun shows and is selling off his collections a little at a time. Actually sold his last SKS during the last gun "crisis". He had bought something like 300 of those things back in '99 for $79 each. Bunch of assorted NIB Norincos that's where I learned what each was!The fabled CIA SKS was a joke from the Century Guns that were marked CIA ( Century International Arms.). I'm sure your grandfather told that joke a bunch back in the day like my dad did. How is Paul BTW?
