Well, here is the link for the story in the local paper.

http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/business/5187665.htm

As for picture...

http://www.smith-wesson.com/products/firearms/select_firearm.cfm

Find the "Select Caliber" button and look for the 500 S & W Magnum button.

Thanks for the suggestion but I need to look at the stats then redo the DL
stats and d20 stats.
