So what you are saying is that we need to get up to Maine to gun shows and pawn shops? I may get up to VT this spring and if I do, Maine isn't far away......

Maine's a very cool place generally. I imagine that I could walk north into the forest north of Old Town and come out when I hit the tundra, and never run into another person. A little bit of an exaggeration, but not much...

It looks like I will be going to VT this spring and with Maine being so close, I might just "pop" over there and see what I can find in the gun shops. Maybe I'll find some Model 8's...
