Thanks, John, I didn't realize it was a standalone post. Sorry for responding this way, my outgoing e-mail stopped working since my last reinstall of XP, using both outlook and thunderbird. I'll be some months more before I'll try again due to activation limits. Regards

I've been unable to find what on this site what this missile relates to. I refuse to believe that this info was just randomly placed. It can't be that mostly wooden thing with the real nice rifle scope.
