No fair on us colonials using all this semi-auto stuff! The gov't took all ours away years ago, so all we have is pictures! At least the transitional rifle was more along the lines of what we are allowed!

Seza in Australia (who still wouldn't mind a FAL, Jungmans and a Bren to finish off with)

I responded thusly: "Seza - um, you *do* remember we were colonials before your lot got planted down there? We just threw off the Sassenach yoke somewhat earlier than you guys did..."

Now, let's focus on Seza's parenthetical: "(who still wouldn't mind a FAL, Jungmans and a Bren to finish off with)"

Uh-huh.  Ya mean like this?

Swedish Ljungman M42b

Some L1A1s and a Bren, along with other stuff

And that's leaving out the other Bren and STG-58.]]> tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.11458-comment:94716 Comment from BillT on 2009-10-25 BillT http://www.thedonovan.com 2009-10-25T09:43:27Z 2009-10-25T09:43:27Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.11458-comment:94712 Comment from Dimetrius on 2009-10-24 Dimetrius http://www.soft_khak-pfooie_depozit.ru/ Читал-читал и понял собственное несовершенство.

I love hobbies. Mine don't necessarily run towards collecting implements of specific targeted destruction but I can appreciate a man who's hobby does. I stand impressed every time you allow a glimpse into your world there.... and along with your book collection in the other room it *almost* makes me want leave the warmth of the southern clime and move back where real houses have basements. Almost. (Global cooling and frozen precipitation sent me south back in the 80's. No need to repeat the lesson.) 2009-10-22T16:11:05Z 2009-10-22T16:11:05Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.11458-comment:94627 Comment from BillT on 2009-10-22 BillT http://www.thedonovan.com ]]> 2009-10-22T12:23:52Z 2009-10-22T12:23:52Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.11458-comment:94623 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2009-10-22 John of Argghhh! http://www.thedonovan.com 2009-10-22T11:51:19Z 2009-10-22T11:51:19Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.11458-comment:94620 Comment from BillT on 2009-10-22 BillT http://www.thedonovan.com "We just threw off the Sassenach yoke somewhat earlier than you guys did..."

*Sassenach*? You referring to that wee Gairmun laddie, George?

Do I wait until John is knee deep in snow and send pictures of me on the beach?

Better yet -- find some arcane piece of ANZAC kit in a museum and send him a picture of the lower left quadrant...
