We're just "funnin'" with you Plane Fast, don't take it mean; it's not meant that way:
- Can you please post a picture of the rear of the cartridge?
- We just want to see if the primer cup is empty.
No kidding; pound-for-pound, might be the tightest mix of any show I've seen on-site yet, don't you think? Good stuff.
And I apologize for not knowing, but is the "Burma jeep" a WWII vintage?
