2020-11-11 00:56:24 +0000 UTCI keep expecting a “(The Mouse’s) Copyright were Declared” any time you cross 1924. Neither can I help wonder how far gems like “I can’t play with it if you don’t give it to me” explain the viewer- supporter ratio for the product.

2020-11-10 15:49:37 +0000 UTCNice episode! By the way, Im'm sure you are well aware of this, but conventional wisdom in Norway is that a norwegian krag should not be fired with fullpowered modern amunition. The action was designed for what was full pressure at the time, but in later years the pressure of 6,5x55 has been increased to the point where it causes undue stress to a krag-action. I just thought it could be a good idea to mention it in case there are some krag-owners out there who are not consius about the situation.

2020-11-10 12:45:25 +0000 UTCDefinitely worth consideration

2020-11-10 08:57:32 +0000 UTCI love that Othias fell in love with a misfit. But how about a top10 neutral rifles, since there are so many out there, if you need another "filler" episode due to unforseen events. Just a thought

2020-11-10 03:42:03 +0000 UTCI keep searching for a Remington M1903A3 that somebody bubba'd a little bit. Something that couldn't be restored to Milspec, but could be "restored" to a M1903A3 carbine with a 20" barrel and a C stock trimmed to a profile similar to the Springfield M1899 Carbine or No 5 Mk 1. It would meet my desires and might please Mae. Especially if it was chambered in 7x57mm.

2020-11-10 02:32:47 +0000 UTCPoint of curiosity if you please. I've noticed Mae invariably has her right shirt tail untucked and her left shirt tail tucked when shooting offhand. I presume this is an artifact of equipment required for your (video) shots. Care to enlighten your hordes of adoring fans?

2020-11-10 00:26:24 +0000 UTCI love it when this pops up. I love watching while I have my coffee before heading off to class.
