Found a few more pics of this monster.. I think one is Deas hisself! Oddly enough, when you do a Google search for O&K G350, Deas' name pops up about a dozen times.. aaah, celebrity! I have some pics I took many years ago I'll try to find.. odd how one of the 26 wound up in Nebraska. All that's ...
