jsw - good news and yes - report back with impressions and reviews.

Do please tho if you can, and not already done so - check thru some stuff on my FAQ (link in my sig) - and try and grab a copy of the Eric pics takedown and reassembly - maybe too my vids.  Get yourself up to speed ready for the maintainance aspect.

I will assume you have read quite a bit on the forum and so are aware of various thoughts from folks too on things like grip etc.

Best of luck.

Sounds great jsw - keep us informed - Chris is right - I have the take down/assembly stills printed out in a notebook and the vids are great also.

jsw,
I did the same as mountainman.  The contributions of Chris (r9scarry) are legend here.  Read EVERYTHING he has posted.
