Which parts do you visit on your trips to the U.S., Jack? I'm sure you could find someone on here to hold your winnings for you while you're back home.

Hey now if what i'm working on now comes good i may be able to keep it !! but i'm a good way off knowing everything yet to say

but to make a short story long , theres rules about "ownership" and i've a big wish to keep it all legal and straight down the line as accomplices will cop it just as hard as i would ( honest be careful what you do for folks from Oz and the UK its a nightmare eh) .. i looked at that before , museums and such i can get away with ( and do so) but i have to either be in country ( the USA) to add it to my DHS file , or its illegal transfer ... NRA's ( non resident aliens, me) have very strict rules , so i'll play along with the set we have , until the situation and rules change... and i'm looking at changing just that

Look for an old glenfield model 60 with the little squirrel on the stock. same as the marlin 60s and most of them had longer barrels...
