Didn't want to insinuate you were.

Just wanted to underline that when manning a booth, or even in a retail outlet, one of the weapons of shoplifters is distraction.

Well people often mistake us for such.....


Absolutely and good point!

I wonder if PPS is covered by insurance?

If they are insured, would they at least be able to be compensated monetarily?

I hope they catch the guy. Glen is such a nice guy.

Yeah, well, the thief just had the dogs sicced on him. He'll never be able to sell it.

IF he is smart enough to sell it by parts, just like the car thieves, he will be able to sell it.

He won't be able to sell the body, it's one-of-a-kind and serialized.

What about the locals? He can sell it to a friend.

I picked up the gun at the MMG o3'.

Its a great gun it looked better and felt better than an MacDev and those retail for $1100+ Its full value concidering the time put into it would be at least $1000.

I hope he gets it back, he has a small bisiness and taking a few hits like that is not something he can just obsorb like WDP or Kingman could.

As far as selling, as long as its not on the forums or on ebay I'd say that person would have a hard time getting caught. The body could be passed off as an old school "Fish-Bone" cocker with an anno job from a non-existant company.

To Break it down:
Raw Body-$230
Lots of milling$200
Anno Job-$350
Kapp Hinge-$100
Air Connections/Lapco Drop w/Anno-$50
Custom Bolt-$50
Front Block and Pnematics-$175
High Rise-$25
Beaver Tail-$25
Stabalizer Inline-$100
Internals-guessing $150
Boa Barrel w/Nickel Plating-$75
Custom Cocking Rod-$25

Probably somethings I'm forgetting but that's $1555 if I got the milling value right. You pay a lot for custom but honestly, if I had the cash and wanted a mechanicl cocker, that would be my gun.

Glen's a great guy. Someone that would steal from a vendor that has done so much for the sport should have their fingers lopped off one at a time over a space of a day or two......seriously.

I was wondering why they searched everyone leaving the expo building even though they had not done it earlier in the day. The theft occurred between 12:30 and 1 pm if I remember correctly.

P.S. Clare looked pretty lonely over at the PGI booth, I figured she would be getting mad subscriptions.

We actually got a very good amount of subscriptions but Jason and I had slow periods when the traffic wasn't very heavy on our side of the building. Though, we packed up everything early on Sunday since we ran out of magazines after we got rushed. I spent the rest of the time at the bunkerking table.

That dark hat on the far right looks sweet, I might pick one up.
