Dr. Funk did pick up that Czech rifle we talked about a while ago.

And took it out and used it!

And took pictures. And posted 'em. Some people in Ottawa are probably besides themselves. One can only hope, anyway!

Well, the few rounds I have are head stamped 1938. One would really expect rounds that old to have an elevated rate of failure.

And what you do find isn't all that reliable, either.

That is the rifle, yes. But I haven't bought it yet. Those pictures were taken in 1989, if I remember correctly. My friend and I went out shooting with it and the M22. Had a blast too. I could take some pictures of my current rifle, if you'd like. Its an old one too, the M95 Austrian cavalry carbine. Nice rifle, but hard to find ammunition for.
