|
| The Cary Target has more 5978 Sphynx Secret Surprise in stock (at least 6 after the 2 I took). They have these for $14.87 (about 1/3 MSRP, and about 5 cents a brick). They had these on clearance back a few months ago, and apparently they made a (...) (27 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur, lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

| Sorry for the delayed response on this topic. I think NCLTC is a good name for a potential club. I also may have scared up a couple more recruits for this effort.
