I'll tell you where you can get one free, although it might take a bit of metal detection! HOWEVER! In, note! I said "IN" not on, but "IN" one of the runways of the main runways of the Montreal, Canada Pierre Trudeau airport there is a viewfinder knocked off one of my M4's of the day into wet concrete then hardened into the runway as it dried! There now for free go for it! :-) See how easy I make these offerings? ;-) How do I know? Easy! I was documenting the new Pierre Trudeau Airport runways climbing up and down all the huge incredible machines and all of a sudden I realized the viewfinder was missing some where in the "still liquid cement of the runway." :-( So there you go! And for free! :-) GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!
