| Post subject: | i got a great christmas present last weekend ... |
at christmas i gifted a 22cal bolt action rifle to my friend gimp , he had given the family one that had been passed down to him to his brother for reasons ill leave to him to explain , so i had a spare [i had bought two in a complicated deal or two ] WZ78 trainer , nice little magazine fed with AK type sights readily removable and scopeable if desired , so being the good friend who had heard him lust after 22bolts at a couple gunshows i decided i did not need two - and he needed one , so i gave it to him , he had in turn given me a copy of a page from a ebay sale - he had bought me a book i had mentioned kicking myself for not buying for many years , he knew i had been passively looking for a copy for many years as a result - he told me "not to do anything stupid like buy one " it was on order and would be in soon [he had a hard time getting it as they are out of print] he found it in australia , so when i got to his place a week ago he handed me a package - a mint condition copy of graham priests book "spirit of the pike" in hard copy , what a terrific book ............. its now well used , this resides with my copy of the "LEE ENFIELD STOREY" the bibble of these rifles by skennerton , my copy of "BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH BAYONETS" a terrific reference also by skennerton , my copy of the"INGLIS DIAMOND" by clive law the bibble of inglis high powers , my 'british enfield rifles' volumes by stratton , and similar from skennerton , my 'enfield revolver' book by skennerton , my copy of "the us rifle model 1917" by ferris , my bible of the "Colt 45 service pistols 1911 & 1911A1" by clawson , my bible of the CLASSIC FAL RIFLE" and various other US rifle references for items i no longer own ..... anyway , what a great gift . i spent a lot of hours on it in the last week , |
