    johnd liked post by Husky1600 On thread : Zero MOA rail/base - why?
    Because some people buy red cars, some even buy Sang Yong! Some people wear jeans and some wear those ugly looking Chico things. Despite all the hype and hoopla we see in shooting forums about...

    johnd liked post by gundoc On thread : Wobbly Webley again
    A good Mk VI Webley will lock up tight when the action is cycled and the trigger held to the rear. A small amount of 'rock' is OK (about 5 thou each side). Wear in revolver timing generally occurs...
