I now have a gun boner. Thank you.
MaverickEsq
Always happy to share! I love my guns like the Queen of England loves her Corgies.

Thats awesome, though its a strange feeling holding a gun that you know has probably shot at and possibly killed someone isnt it
MaverickEsq
It inspires awe, the sad thing was when my little cousin came over (He's 14) and I stood it next to him, it was almost as tall as he was (1)
MaverickEsq
And then you realize, tonnes of kids exactly his age lied and went over to France and even died there, nothing makes you respect them more(2

Looks awesome, how much was it?
MaverickEsq
$695. Got it on the cheap because some nitwit mounted a Parker and Hale sight on it. Surplus sights are $10 on ebay though.
ShadowTallon
How much does it weigh? Looks like you could beat someone to death with it.
MaverickEsq
It's actually lighter than my .22 although my 22 is covered in bipods and shit. Its a good 4kg though. The wood is lighter than it looks.
StringVariable

MaverickEsq
You'll see that on anything military it has meaning. >< is that it's commissioned whereas striked out ones (like in the picture) are retired
StringVariable
I love learning new stuff! Thank you. >_>' I was just chuckling at the resemblance to the smilie, though.
MaverickEsq
We share similar interests good sir! I've seen that symbol more than the smiley though. Benefits of a military household.
StringVariable
They still use that symbol or do you have a lot of very old things lying around?
MaverickEsq
Very old things, my bedside table as a kid was a decom'd army footlocker. I didn't know until recently. Lots of inherited equipment.
