Katrina victims
These guns and RIKA units are from Mickey Brondum's junior club in New Orleans. All his pistols are still in a safe full of water because the tumblers are too rusted to open.

Pilkguns,
I have met Mickey Brondum last year when he ran a pistol coaches'course here in Louisville Ky. I am glad he is safe from the hurricane but, am saddened by the loss of his equipment. I will purchase an IZH-46 from you to give to him to help rebuild his program and challenge anyone else to do the same with either a gun or equipment. I will call you later today to give you the credit card info!

Wow-thank you from Mickey and thank you from me for showing what this sport is about.
For those who don't know, Mickey ran one of the better junior programs in the nation for many years, and lost his house and everything from Katrina. He is living in a hotel in Mississippi still. Buck and I are doing what we can to repair these guns at a low a cost as possible. The bores are going to be the tricky thing, I am not sure how well they will shoot over the rust pits, even after they are polished out. Funny, all his Daisy 853 barrels were fine, from all the oil those things spit out.
