*sigh* Would love to shoot one again just for old times sake

Not that I was ever any good at shooting. But I'd love to have a sore right cheek reddened eyes, cracked teeth and that ringing in my ears again

... And the riflemen who wore glasses had those tell-tale chipped right lenses ( for not holding tight )

way
Well I never found a of avoiding that, in 20 yrs of firing the sodding thing, even though I could (despite rather than because of the rifle, IMHO) shoot to Marksman standard for APWT.

And because the SLR damaged my glasses, I'm also holding it responsible for me pulling all those ugly wimmin . . .

Between myself and Longlenny we are looking at the best way to do this, His 0A has the means to machine so if she is available we may ask you to send your Polo's to him and then you will get the right size and colour and logo!
Simple really that way no complaints over quality of shirts just stitching and mailing them back to the wrong peeps.

Sounds like a good idea. Hopefully then all we need is to see the final design(s) and arrange a method of carriage and payment.

A museum piece like you is not in the final design I hope.

Well I've been ordered by SWMBO not to buy one ... ah, well, another seven days RPs!

I used to swap my scaled SMG with one of my guys' SLRs for the same reason. Besides, it made me less of a target!

(not that anyone actually ever shot at me)
