It didn't bother me one bit. I appreciate all of your opinions. Heck if we all thought the same the world would be a boring place. Looks like I may wind up getting the '46 that's all in pieces. It's in much better shape than the ones I've found just sitting out in the woods. It's already been blasted and primed once but from years of sitting under a shed it's got a lot of surface rust coming back. I hate to blast it again if I get it but what other choice is there? I've got to go back when it's warmer and really look over all the pieces again.
