Does it have the "typical ovation crack"? I did notice it installed a few in the Ultra...

I added up that I loaded 125lbs six times firing that thing. Auto loader would be cool. You could load and fire a Guitar Centre in less than 4 minutes.....

It's more 'character building' to make.

What kind of character you become is your choice.

Most state level courts recommend a character quite unlike Jeff. According to the border guards who turned me back when I used him as a reference....

I should warn people to be careful where they use my name...

In general; borders, precincts, school zones and all of south Asia are "no-no's"...

The Tosser was great fun, I must admit. Thanks to all for jumping in on the fun.
