    We had individuals that would balance climb their way up and drop vertical hauling lines and safety lines for the rifle companies... Unlike Ovidio, who would just lead his company of accomplished...

    Yes, usually a swiss seat and a carabiner to the standing rope. These guys are...you can see the angle of the rope goes to the carabiner and then over the hip to the brake hand. I suggest the pic...

    All the times I was through there while travelling to duty in the east I never stopped to see the place. That was as far back as 1981...when most things from WW2 still stood. And as far forward as...

    At least you know there's a source of info for your build.

    I think that would be a matter of opinion and what frogs the battalions happened to have. As long as they weren't for the #4 spike they would fit the scabbard and they COULD be fitted, you could...

    Happened to the couple next door. She died at 95 and he within a couple months at 103. He had a DFC and she had a full rack from fueling aircraft on airfields...in WW2. I still miss them.

    No, that's still in place. People are still largely unaware that there are people owning machine guns in Canada, they wring their hands about my owning a Ruger mini 14... They'd tell you there are...

    Nothing in SRS #1 even comes close Bill. I know other guys here have later SRS tables...maybe there's something else has come to light?

    I did look up all the numbers on your list before...nothing...

    Once you've looked at a few dozen you can see when the base of the pistol grip has been altered. It'll be out of round and chamfered...like this one.

    Yes, I've been told 50/50. I just use straight and a couple hours or until it's ALL gone. It'll do it up perfect for you. If you leave it overnight, it'll turn black when you wash it.

    Yes they did. I was from the Windsor area, if you said nothing to declare...stand by to be boarded.

    You're right about the sanding. The heel should have much more material on the flat and if you look at the pistol grip you can see how much has been sanded off. The area at the buttplate should be...

    I would have soaked in Muriatic acid and be done with rust. It works wonderfully.
