WTB 46 or 72 Bowfront in or near Decatur area

Still looking for a nice 46 or 72 bowfront.
Prefer a 46 but would buy a 72 for the right money.
This will be for a FOWLR. So don't need a lot of accessories...maybe lights or a good quality stand. But not necessary.
PM me if you got something you want to unload.
Thanks.

hey, it still has a bowed front and falls within the 46-72 range. may work for him just as well.

As a corner owner I take offense to the bowfront/corner comparison...corners are WAY cooler! j/k

Actually, my point is why do you really want the bow front? With my corner there are 2 main things that I really dislike. The first is that the "bend" in the glass really distorts certain views and makes picture taking (at least with my camera) all but impossible
The second problem that I have is the glass is a little harder to clean as , again, the bend tends to make the Mag Float not sit square on the glass even if I usse it vertically.

I know that the bowfronts aren't usually as bent so that may not be a problem, but just wanted to add my 2 cents.
