I have always looked at what it takes to engineer a piece of equipment such as a rifle as the tolerances are incredible when you think of the dynamic forces you unleash when you fire the weapon and to all of us no matter what we collect or shoot they are an entity of themselves if my 1916 No I Mk III Lithgowicon 303 could talk what stories it may tell.
And this goes for all of us in the forums no matter what we collect or shoot we are as individual as the firearms but share the common passion, at times we may spruke what is better between types but in the long run and big picture we all share with each other as a collective.
And there are some extremely well trained and versed personnel on this site and for my mind there is no better place to have come to and be steered in the right direction...
