...and because we don't have internet access (dial-up is *not* internet access anymore) until later this week, and I've been busy moving the Arsenal, posting has been light, and this is all I'm probably going to get up today, until I hit the hotel this evening.

But, 'tis done.

Now, the display cases don't have their tops yet, and the rifle racks aren't installed, but loading has commenced, and the place is secure... because with the movement of the Arsenal, we are now prepared to Repel Boarders. Well, we would be if I had inserted a feed strip into that Hotchkiss.

Hotchkiss 'Portative' machine gun, in the dismounted role, also mounted in Brit tanks of WWI.

So how 'bout paint, maybe cammo green? I mean you need color to make those weapons POP. ;-P Sorry, my decorator side coming thru, I'll just move along.

Is that an MG-42 in the foreground of the top picture there? One of the things I've gained watching Burn's "The War" is the way that thing could move rounds down range.

Yes, Lex, it is. Wartime gun sitting on a post-war Lafette (tripod).
