Why yes...it does. I defer to your greatness, and thank you for your kind offer.

Are we the only ones? Seems everyone is drinking Tequila and giving eachother backrubs.

I was about to make them aware that "I like cheese."

BTW, although not being a great fan of the .30 Carb. round...the delivery system has always been a family favorite...and am grateful to God for not providing my O.S.S. Dad a boar to blind with one in Frankfurt am Main in '52...but it WAS the first choice of my friend's granddad to finance and arm the anti-Castro patriots, and in my presence did a good job on a fire door when my employer's Bushmaster let loose at the "firearms supermarket' we worked at, and were responding to an alarm.

Oh...about liberated Germany...that day, at dawn...his companion woke the neighborhood by spinning a weathervane...from the boat...with a short, accurate....bananna-clip...as we called them...burst.

Love the .30 diameter, though. Also a very comfy feeling, digging one's hand into a shoebox full of 'em.

Still HATE the "lead squirting out the bottom" bullets...but hey...it always works...a lot...and have historically found jams easy to clear.

The nicest carbine I ever foolishly sold to a customer...and didn't take home myself....was an Erma...deep blued, and with visible German pride in manufacturing. So, my friend and colleague...assume your position under the Spotlight of Honor. It is a priviledge to be associated with you.

AMT made a pistol in your caliber...a LONG slide. Balanced really well.

I haven't tried weathervanes yet! These are great stories, PoorMuttly! (We'll have to shorten your nickname if you're gonna hang out here with us! You can call me .30 or 3C if you like. I am feeling magnanimous in my glory as Numero Uno.)

Signed, Numero Uno.

(Okay, I promise, that's the last time I'll do that!)

Ah, no, PoorMuttly, the priviledge is all mine. Keep the stories coming!

Obviously, his very existence is now known to F.R., which is an outstanding endorsement. He only reveals himself to those he respects, and endorses

Lifted this from your homepage, new friend. Okay, now I feel REALLY blessed! ( :
