Thanks to everyone for their input..but due to life getting in the way again,I'm afraid I'm going to have to abandon my dreams of this ever happening......I suppose I was deluding myself thinking that I could make it happen anyway,so I'm probably better off facing reality......I'm not sure just yet,but my guns may be coming up for sale in the classifieds as well........please forgive the whining,it's just hard to accept the death of a lifelong dream..............thanks to all for an awesome forum
