A springfield 03 is so easy to work on parts / acc and weight wise, it would be my choice, after an 8mm mauser.

    BobbyZ's the enfield guy, get with him
    Love my 03 and wouldn't trade it for an ugly british club for all the tea at Pacific Ocean market. Never shot a Mauser either, but I hear those can kick like a mule. The 03 is bad enough after a couple hours of shooting, with the steel butt plate and all...

    Speaking of BobbyZ.. WTF is he up to? Hopefully everything is going well with him.

    They had a bunch in stock, and the kit was on sale for $69 something. It comes with media, polish, and a shitty separator that looks like a gold pan with slits cut out of it. I'm really happy with the tumbler though. This is what I ended up with..

    I got a bad sunburn a couple months ago. My wife soaked towels in icy vinegar water and made a compress on my back. She did it until my burned skin was cold to the touch. That took all the sting out.

    I also put aloe on a lot.

    I'd heard vnegar takes the sting out, but it's better to have direct knowledge of the fact from someone. Good to know, bogie.
