Yep, I'm still waiting for a commission or two! Keeps bumping me down the list for "proper customers"..... Maccam tosser.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

My father in law gave me a box of 36 freshly squeezed .577 rounds, a powder measure and an original box of very old military issue percussion caps for my birthday .. He's definitely trying to tell me something ... "What's the hold up, get on with it and shoot the thing" FAC off for variation next week, so hopefully it won't be long before I indulge in a little musketry!
