We didn't put ours in a safe - or near anything like that! They went in a wooden cupboard in the G-10 stores.

Re the dry compass. It's always worth remembering or bearing in mind that the isoprophyl is simply a damping mechanism for the dial that has a low liquid refractive index. You can use it dry provided you wait for the dial to stabilise. And a dry one is a zillion times better that one with a bubble in it.

And when you are fixing your own, please, please, please don't use steel screws................. Yep, seen it done more times than I can remember. Just look at them on the tables of the make-a-fast-buck merchants at your next gun show. Ho, ho, ho, ho! I used to tell them but they all seem to know best............. So now I don't bother!
