I think I might be out of the bidding. I’d give up the 029, 028 AND the CS400 for that GZ7000, throw in a couple bars and a bunch of chains, but the more I think about it, the more I can’t bring myself to part with the rifle.
Looking for something a little more than a 51. Not that his is bad. He sent me some pics and it looks great. A 350 would seal the deal.
Seeing this thread in light of the bad news shared recently, I wonder if anyone has a way of contacting family.
It would be great to get in touch with his family and offer some kind of support, but it's also one of those "proceed with caution" deals. We don't want to come across as vultures. I imagine a lot of Brad's earthly possessions will be inherited by his son, and rightfully so. Still, just making contact with his wife and offering condolences/whatever else from the collective FHC family sounds like the right thing to do.
Holy crap, I hope nobody gets it in their head to pursue this saw. Even if I had paid for the saw I would just write it off. I can't imagine approaching anyone this soon after such a traumatic time.
