I stand corrected, you are right. The NAAFI sound very memorable to me. Only wish I had bought and save some of the McCallum's.

I remember Graffenwier and  Hoenfel with a smile. Lot of trees, open spaces, and great seas of mud.

White Rhino do you remember the beer with the flip tops from Graffenwier? I still have one of the bottles, but no beer.

I am a liker of dark dirty beers and a friend of Jagermeister (http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-jagermeister.htm).

During my time I had three private firearms. One rifle and two handguns.  I keep them at home being married to wife one.

Hi All, hi Paddy!
 
that is approx 150 kilometers, more or less. The Czechoslowakia border was kloser, approxx 70 kilometers.  I did my service time close to that border back in the eighties with an armoured cavallery scout bataillon. We had Fuchs, Luchs and Leopard 1 A1.
 
I attach  my latest success. Hoadie would say, I´m hunting big rabbits whitch look like small deers.
This made only 12 Kg with no guts. Had orders to shoot him, because the padrone wants to eliminate
 week bocks. Gun same, round same

Hoadie,

You mean it is not covered under the Canadian health insurance?

I have hear story from hunters in NC that gnomes ride them so watch out for those gnome women.

Hi Sayak!
 
I have no idea how the stock was punched or hammered or whatever. I`ve bought it the way it looks now and do not know who made it. I still believe, that it was an exam work for a gunsmith back in the fifties. So I´m sorry, I´d be glad to help, but no idea. Maybe You try punches as long as You get the desired result.
