Just a couple of quick things...

I was in a hurry yesterday, 'cause M and Landlady wanted to go to town and there was Mexican food involved, which meant I wanted to go to town. But I want to thank Donkey Buster and Claire for the great care packages. DB, the boys asked me to especially thank you.

Also, yesterday was a great (followed quickly by not so great, but never mind) day for M AKA Ian, because...


He finally got the letter from the principal permitting him to keep and bear this fine piece of WWI British engineering right here. Yup, his first gun with a giggle switch. He happy.

Unfortunately before LL and I got to play, he also suffered his first ever case mouth separation and we didn't have an extractor between us. So (sob) back to the city it goes. But it did go bang in a satisfyingly rapid manner, for a disappointingly short time.

Well, dragging the rounds through all that dirt doesn't help the chamber function smoothly. Have him get an ammo can and use it.

De nada.
Just trying to keep the boys from gnawing off your other leg. =0)

That's a fine bit of ordnance Ian has there. Very nostalgic. Bet it cost him at least several cows a few goats and a water buffalo or two or three. If it makes him feel better, my own adventures with my full auto toy here in PI was less than wonderful. I had ammo and magazine related failures and I think some dope put a rifle extractor spring and O-ring into an M4 bolt.
Anyway, congrats to Ian for getting himself on yet another federale list.

Buck.
