Not sure what that has to do with the thread?

Its the first Canadian I have ever had a chance to ask! Excuse me this just once!

It's OK, Ron

.

We "Snowbirds" like to flock down to Florida every winter, and spend some months until the snow melts up here. While we're down there, the Scottish heritage in us (we ARE lousy tippers) takes over. For any of you who are offended by my comments about the Scots, my dad's family are from Edinburgh

Cirelaw is probably a close neighbour to a friend of mine who has moved down to Florida permanently - obviously Canada's loss, Cirelaw's gain!

Now, where were we............................

Oh yes. MecGar mags, or something from Gerry Timek? I want to fire this gal with the minimum of stoppages.

Cheers,

Bill the Scot

"Or"??? Gerry uses Mec-Gar mags quite a bit...And it's 'Tomek'...

Sorry Rich, I must have been up too late last night when I wrote that.

I'll email Gerry today.

By the way, my Karabiner is NOT marked "Interarms". The stock has a tiny knot through it. Kinda cute, and reminds me of Cindy Crawford's face

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Gents,

I was conversing with Postino in another section, and thought that I should drop this note in the right spot.

The test card for the Karabiner shows a 2.2 cm (7/8ths of an inch) spread at 25 meters (about 80 feet). "Excellent" is anything under 5cm, so 2.2 is HOT.

I had a little trouble with the firing pin spring retainer (it jammed), but she's good to go now, with a little help from some choice Canadian swear words.

Looking forward to trying her out around the 26th. I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Bill
