And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

What? No Large Pack?

I can only auction what I'm offered, Legs. Scour your shed. There's bound to be something there.

Here's another pic from Kirkz. Surprised the Old'n'Bold haven't been all over this auction. Where are you all?

£20 plus p&p from me.
Kirkz, I trust this 58 patt was obtained from your 'rubber wheel' and not your 'steel wheel' days. I don't want the SQMS at 79 producing a 1157 for it back.
