Looks like you have been working hard, BR. Thanks for the help getting the news out.
And how about those junky captured Mausers. Surprised they found anybody to buy all those things. Heck, they didn't have a magazine cut-off and they could be loaded lickity-split to where a person could shoot them off too fast. What a waste. You couldn't even top them off after shooting a few rounds. Well, I suppose there were some that could be turned into hunting rifles.  :-? Or just hang on to them as war relics. They sure weren't as perty as our Krags (or as finely made).
