Yes you are refering to the P17s which were not actually Enfields as they used Mauser actions. But troops of the 1st ID AEF were issued Enfields and there were units of the 3rd ID 30th IR that were also issued British Enfields. These were some of the first AEF units that were placed in the...- Buggnkat

The provenance of the story may or may not be true, and I am willing to ceed that. Now if I did as quoted say Colt sent the machinery I was mistaken, I didnt remember typing it that way but that is the way it showed and that is wrong. My laptop cursor has a way of jumping around and may be the...- Buggnkat

Brim Width and Head Size
I think more so color is your own body dimensions. Wide shoulders and a more round type face can make a wide brim seem small not so wide. Where as a long slender face with a narrow shoulders make even a relatively narrow brim seem large. -

The shipment was made as it is in the history of the company. They made firearms for YEARS before, and the tools that make weapons do not necessarily come from the manufactureror. I never said in my post Colt sent them the machinery. The equipment if you bothered to read the history, was in...- Buggnkat

I can not speak to the 38s, but their 1911s are awesome! I do kind of like and would love to shoot their 38s if I ever get a chance.- Buggnkat

http://www.armscor.com.ph/profile.htm My local gun store here in town talked to the distributor in Parump NV he got the back story from them. They were going to make pistols for the PI military and the US Army. The shipment of equipment and material was still crated when the Japenese...- Buggnkat

"Few more dollars", WOW try double the price!! I was skeptical about the RIA's as I was a Colt or go home guy. But when a Colt is over $1000 and a Rock can be had for 1/2 the price, and is made from the very molds Colts were, why spend the schekels if you dont have to? Mine is just as...- Buggnkat

Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Ebay No kidding! Nice shirts. I have a list of vendors I have bought shirts and other things (OK I am a sucker for the hula girl on the dash, sue me). http://www.hawaiiankinegifts.com/index.html (Good hula girls and my favorite the Hula Girl Lamp)... -
Anyone for a brand new crated Spitfire?
Never said "water tight" just they were wrapped and preserved for the trip overseas. In THAT condition, they are better protected than just burying the ship sans protection. Having shipped MANY aircraft and being on the other side removing them from shipment, they can hold up pretty good... -
Anyone for a brand new crated Spitfire?
If the crates were the same ones they loaded them onto the ships, they are wrapped internally and sealed. Usually aircraft being shipped overseas were cocooned in a wrap material then crated. As long as they werent buried in a swamp, they may be in still very good conditions. -

I can understand that Mike. I was sceptical of the Rocks, till I talked with several owners (and growing rapidly) and got gushing reviews from every single person I talked with. If a fellow board member were in the market for a 1911 I would most definitely recommend them!! I love my Rock...- Buggnkat
