Finaly the long awaited Rifle arrived. Living in Norway is fine, but waiting for the Italians to move is hard..!<Chucles>

Oh what a fine pice the Rifle is, and the loads that I had made for it with Dakota Widdowmakers mold and the dies he sendt, yep they worked just fine. I will use the rifle in a club match next saturday......IIIIHAAAAW

Now I have to speed up in the making of the Backeslee, the parts haave been laing around for a while.!

You know Snapshot, it simply never ceases to amaze me how many Scandinavians are true dyed in the wool BP shooters!  :o  I live in a midwestern state chock full of Scandanavian immigrants from the 19th century and they are indeed hardy souls! Your command of English is to be commended.  ;)

The homemade Blackeslee will most likely be a crude looking but still working cartrige box!
I started stitching on it last night.......

Some of you might vonder what heppened to the Blackeslee that I where going to make?
I started the project, got all the parts. Had to wait long for the tubing materiell.
Got the tubing materiell just before I left for my Army-duty-tour to the Balkans.
Working as a Liasion officer down here will probably set me back a year or so on the Blackeslee project. The job is really interesting, and the pay is not bad either. I am going for a short leave in a few weeks, thought about looking up the Palmetto factory in Italy? That is where the replica Spencers are made!

Best Regards
