Just for clarification, many of us have our beloved Stormy Kromer wool hats. But they tie in the front and not on top like Elmer Fudd's hat does. It does give an illusion of being a bunch of Fudds. Maybe so, but we are much more refined when you get to know us.

Maybe you should have somebody fabricate a BLT for you.

My table reads built "BLT.", which was my terminology. Springfield Armory actually used the term "fabricated" in the documents I used to make the table. They listed some firearms as fabricated with 1901 sights or with Parkhurst attachments, for example. So I gather that when the ...
