Pedersoli Enfield 1853 quality

[MR. GADGET]

You have to know "Southron, Sr.", and yes he would be part and parcel to such a thing.....and think its funny.

Yes sir and it is very wrong...
No need for actions like that.

I also fail to see the stories tie to the quality of DP Enfield musket.

Dear Eggman:

Congratulations on winning that Second Place in the match!

Being a former FO, guess you know what the following radio transmission mean:

"Add 50."

"Fire for Effect."

More thread drift:

In March 1973, the Marine Corps midshipmen from Auburn University went up to Ft McClellan to be aggressors against the artillerymen from the 14th Marines. It was a rainy Saturday morning and myself and others were riding with the Marine officer advisor, Major Philson. Once when we got to Fort Mac, it was several miles of wet red clay roads to get to where the field problem was to take place. When we found the 14th Marines, a captain walked up to Major Philson's car and said, "Sir, bad news. The Army won't let us fire our guns in the rain." I can't repeat exactly what the major said but he did say that the rain didn't stop the artillery when he was in Viet Nam.

Speaking of Viet Nam, a member of the Washington Blue Rifles found an Enfield musketoon, with sword bayonet, in a bunker during his tour of duty. The best explanation was that the VC were using it as a training rifle. Unfortunately, it was stolen before he could ship it back to the States.
