Low 40s but sunny, rough day at the office

The earlier part is stamping out the blanks and drawing the brass case. Around the 12min mark you see the extractor groove added, the primer being 'made' and pressed in followed by adding powder and of course the all important sealing of the primer. Look at the country of manufacture on the white box towards the end.

I got a bit curious and did a bit of reading and the majority of Canadian Medal of Honor recipients served in the American Civil War while most of the Americans awarded the Victoria Cross occured while serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force durring WW1

Funny you picked 243 Win for mention. Before I started the new job, my new supervisor called me up and said we all meet at the dept. office and easy to remember as it was 243 just like the calibre( caliber for @Armed Eye Doc )

Either you get it or you don't, love the 71 Pinto refrence.

Who doesn't like a fire truck?

One of 17 kids! Pretty sure his mom deserves a medal. Great story, doubly so that for the most part those that fought in Korea didn't get the recognition they truly deserved.

One of those weird loop holes in Canadian gun law So with a 14" LOP stock and an 8.5" barrel it still exceeds the minimum legal length by 3" to remain a non-restricted firearm( no registration)

Go metric and use 42 Kg

That's nasty.

At least you have the option to build or buy,untill we deal with our liberal problem which are worse then cockroaches in a slum house 😠

and with all those holes it might not be love but...

I guess I shouldn't complain about having to scrape the windshield this morning.

and that's why it's called a booby trap...

Considering what he did during the war and going in at 1914 and surviving the war in itself is pretty amazing.

You have it easy, you're only on American watch lists. I'm pretty sure I've made both Canadian and American watch lists

If you are looking for some historical reading material and something sniper related, A Rifleman Goes to War by Herbert W. McBride ,his book is considered one of the all-time classics on the art of military sniping, and is still on the required reading list of the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper School. McBride is a facinating read not only for the sniping but his life itself. He was an American who gave up his commision in the National Guard to join the Canadian Army in 1915, went in as an officer but worked his way down to private. The other book he wrote on his WW1 experience was The Emma Gees which focus on his experience as a machine gunner

I finished dinner just over an hour ago but now I'm hungry again...

Sadly it seems this day hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves,thanks for let us know.

Worked with an old Czech electrician, it was a bit slow one day so he was showing how he used to make test fuses. He worked in commie Czechoslovakia and things like fuses were hard to come by. So when troubleshooting something blowing fuses, he'd take a piece of stranded #18 AWG wire to make the fuse. He'd figured out the ampacity of a single strand and then would twist together the required number of strands to make the necessary size needed.

Lucky for Canada pretty much none of these #$^% actually ever follow through on their threats

Well now I know why I never see these road runners ya'll keep saying are real and exsist outside of a cartoon...

The handguard makes me think of the M17s Bushmaster
