    Got out with my buddy Scott last Friday then today with another friend at an old bay beach that is long gone. Did get a couple keepers, the coins are fairly much toasted. The Yellow ring tested 10k but sure smells like brass when rubbed so I am guessing old brass. Stones are not real.....

    Cz20 and 21 with Gray Ghost Amphibians

    Been testing these on the CZ20 for a few months, Very comfortable compared to stock and seem to help when using the volume boost, just turn the GGA's down a notch. Volume wise they are about 6 to 8db's louder on targets, the stocks are 61 to 63db and the GGA's are 69 to 71db, a great help if...
