Looking at the photo above, you'll see a young Butlersrangers - third from the right, eyeing the camera in anticipation of going to work with his Krag!!!

Nice find and good job of cleanup! How many hoops does a FL resident have to jump through to make a firearms purchase in Maine?

None really. I have a FFL03 (C&R), so it boiled down to providing a copy of my FFL03 and my drivers license.

I flew up with an airline approved hard case in anticipation of buying it.

I see, I had a C&R license until some O'bozo issued an unlawful order about disabled people and firearms. Someone took care of that problem for me. Maybe I'll get another.
