Years ago, my friend and our wives were heading west in Alberta and went into Bassano for supper. Holy mackerel, there's a gun shop right across the street and its open!!

IIRC, it was called Bob's. I remember buying a batch of Kynoch 7mm Mauser ammo. His words were, "This is the good Kynoch ammo". He had a machine gun of some sort sitting on the floor. I asked him if he was up for a practical joke on the girls. Sure, he was. So he lugged this bloody big gun out to the truck, and as I opened the door to the back seat in the Suburban, I said, "Just put it on the floor there". Jeez, the look on my friend's wife's face was priceless! He carried the gun back to the store and we were on our way.
 
I can see Bob doing that, one of my favorite "visits" at any gunshow. Just the other day I was rumaging through a box of gun room stuff and came across a bag of .577 HB full wadcutter slugs I had bought from him probably 30 yrs ago now...he called them "his trash can castings".
