Thanks for the Mike. It's what I like about this forum. You can tell it as it really is without fear of or upsetting anyone. I know others have dfferent ideas about rifles and MG's being 'concourse' and getting all the 'right' parts together to falsely make things into what they probably never were etc etc. But the real irony is that in all my years of looking I have yet to see a competition that they ever take place in!

I mean....... It'd be different if there was a competition somewhere and they were judged be some expert - but there ain't! They're being judged by the people who falsify them themselves! Wierd isn't it?

Just my take on things as a complete 'outsider', based on nothing more than a bit of life in the real world Armourers shops and what my mum used to call '.......the bleedin obvious'!
