Funny you mention this. I was cleaning and oiling rifles this week and after days of swabbing, wiping, and inspecting, I decided ... what have I done? I did not even know what rifles I had anymore. No wonder my family thinks I am insane.
I can understand making up a nice rifle and giving it to someone who needs/deserves it. What a wonderful gesture you are making. Its really a great way to say ... thanks for all you do and for being a good friend. Way to go!!
