Re: Repro Kerr sling.

My personal favorite is a nicely crafted leather 1907 sling!

However, I have/had numerous Kerr slings (original & reproduction) and like them very much! They are easy to install, adjust and look good on period correct firearms. I've also found them to be very durable and robust.

I used to run a sled team of 12 Lynx but it proved to be detrimental to my health...so I switched to running Bobcats instead!

Re: Request for help with markings

The blade seems to be very similar to the Belgium M1916-35 sword bayonet.

Below is a link to Worldbayonets.com which is an excellent source for bayonet information:

Fred you'll receive a badge that designates you as an expert Krag rifleman with attachments indicating that you've been qualified as a sniper, night fighter and coyote assassin!

Re: Vulnerable Northern Border

Damn those insolent Canadian drug cartels!

What we need is to establish a ruthless special ops northern border patrol group to deal with those nefarious Canadian coyotes!...and we'll call this group "Butler's Rangers!" Eh!

Re: Interesting Listing on ebay redefines "Receiver"

Very clever! I love the bullet shaped follower and magazine spring...err capsule spring. Chuck are you sure you don't want a stinking badge because you'd make an awesome KCA detective! BTW: Check out Wikipedia's definition of rifle receiver...our eBay "Bolt Housing" seller wasn't too far o...

Re: "Death Hunt" -1981 movie

Yes I agree, Lee Marvin's Stormy Kromer hat is quite impressive...just like the one I have!

Of course the scene where Charles Bronson leaps from the wreckage of his blown up cabin with his shotgun a blazing is pretty impressive as well!

Re: Interesting Listing on ebay redefines "Receiver"

As a former police officer, I wonder if eBay has their own police force? Maybe I can apply for a job and get my own stinking eBay deputy badge!
