So I'm a sexist jerk
I called Traditions this morning to ask them how do I remove the barrel from my full stock flintlock rifle.
After calling the toll-free service number a female picks up the phone. Thinking this is the receptionist, I ask for someone who can help me with removing a gun barrel.
She says to me: "I can help with that..."
Yea right I'm thinking. So I describe what I'm trying to do. When finished, without skipping a beat she says: "oh thats pretty easy you just blah, blah, blah..."
"Well what about the ram rod retaining spring, I guess that is held in place by the lock plate screw" I ask her.
And once again without hesitating she proceeded to give a clear and thorough answer.
Sounded like Mrs. Cayugad on the phone!
Well I am happy toreport that Traditions service department is very helpful and competent.
