Maybe it doesn't want to work with Safari. If we slow down enough I'll try to pull them up on my shop PC. All I see is the word "image" in brackets but they pop up one at a time like they are images loading on a screen.

Matt finished commander. I can rust a gun from 10 paces so I found these to be a valued asset over the years. I would want more than a K each to let them go. I don't know the market but they are among my favorites and both shoot very well and very reliable. My +.02 J.Michael
