Why are we here?

This site is designed to encourage the open exchange of information amongst the general military surplus collector community, thereby helping all of our members to better enjoy their chosen hobby.

This thread started well with an exchange of information.

This thread is now deteriorating with too much repetition of the same old mantras that seem to have no end - and it's not helping me to enjoy my chosen hobby

Use the ammunition that your rifle is proofed for - inspect your rifles and maintain them - above all else enjoy them whether you simply look at them of take them out and shoot them.

I don't want to see another rebuttal to this post.

If you haven't got any new information to exchange then simply don't post - move on and make a post in which you share something new.....
