serial number of the gun was 461476, and a copy of the sales

invoice is attached to this affidavit as Exhibit I. I also

exchanged the box of .243 caliber ammunition for a box of

30.06 ammunition. I did not charge him the additional

amount as anticipated because the base and rings used for

mounting the scope on the second gun were less expensive and

made up the difference. The purchaser left the store carrying the gun in a cardboard box utilized by the Browning Manufac-

Scope mounted on St, the rifle would not fit in the normal

Remington box.
