Some say it was the dull drill bit, but others would say you could hear her screaming as I drilled into her still warm chamber to press fit the pin.
Russ couldn't stand to watch and had to head outside, where he comforted his anxious M1919 with the words "I'll never let the mean man do that to you honey".

Of course, my crime was nothing compared to the truckloads that went to the smelters over the last year in Montreal and Edmonton. The entire CF warstock inventory of C1s, C2s, and SMG c1s went in to the Liberal red swimming pools. The 106 recoiless rifles went for a last dip as well.

As an aside, I have considered replacing the lower receiver (actually called a trigger housing) with a brand new one, as they are readily available, but I would lose the serial number and the government inspection stamp (the stylised arow) if I did.
Depending on who you talk to, some say they still have new C1's and C2's in the crates, just like the brand new Inglis High Power pistols that they continue to issue to the troops in Afghanistan as old ones wear out...there was a story on Milsurp yesterday about 20 new Inglises issued...

Any chance they just melted down the well used beaters and still kept some new ones back? Or am I dreaming?
