LOL. John, no, I didn’t miss your comment about the M29. I remembered you mentioning that you bought it in like early 1970. If memory serves me right, the movie Dirty Harry was released in 1971. I recall it because about that time The French Connection came out, which was a chase movie, unlike Dirty Harry, which was a real cop show. Anyway, my statement about Hollywood’s cultural effects was meant as an endemic remark about all of us and long-term internalization. I am no exception. I routinely recant a line that Harrison Ford’s character (Han Solo) makes in Star Wars, “Bring ‘em on, I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around!” [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

It’s strange, I saw Dirty Harry again on TNT several months ago, even though it was released in 1971, it’s still pertinent and relevant to the world we live in now.
