He got a smoking deal from Carl if I remember he paid $1200 NIB. I was with him when he bought it, so..... I think that makes it mine . Krasni will just have to wait for me to croak!
M23 I assume? They don't usually kick that hard... what the hell were you putting through it? I have several sxs guns that kick harder than my 23.

$1200 is a smokin' deal... that gun is well north of $2k now.
