thank you carr, i wasn't too impressed at first with the acrylic shields either. but after getting that 1st jumbo, i had to get the rest, then they started with more series, and then more. ::doh:: i also have a few customs that were done by one of the factory workers there. :lol:
the snap on those jumbos is gator like. just like their remington repros and the nkcas. you have to careful when they slam shut that you don't lose a finger. ::tu::

I only have the #11 'Running Deer'. Received it as a birthday gift a few years ago. It's a hand full.
