These use to be around but sometimes difficult to find and there are many variations and markings |

| Didn't know that. It'd be cool to have some just because. When did they switch to the type that I'm sure we all have?? |

i'm going to have to dig in the reference book to provide dates for changes from one type to another , but i'm too tired tonight , ill get to it later this week unless someone else jumps in , i've not gotten into collecting such minutia as chargers , cartridges , oilers and such , but i do own period correct bits where i've found them for my period rifles , as well as bayonets , those are far more interesting to me , but i understand we do not all think alike and that is how i learn so much from these forums , by hearing what others are interested in and about those things i have not researched |

I have 2 of them, one I shot some of the rounds the other I didnt, When I bought my first one, Cookie Monster asked me to get him one. after, I thought I should get a few more and put them away, I made another order and got their last one!!!! wish I would have know before that, I would have bought some the first time I came across them!!! I knew about them for about 3 years before I got my first one!!!! ------------- "White Rhino" "Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer." --W. C. Fields |
