    Way back in the stone age, I was in the 30th Infantry at Fort Sill. One of our missions was to support the Artillery School with "infantry things," such as running the Infiltration Course. where troops crawl under live machine gun fire. The M60 was not certified for overhead fire in training in those days, so we had 6 M1917 water-cooled machine guns.

    I conceived an unnatural affection for that gun.

      My Palma rifle. I've already been shooting it for the past four years. I'm off to Bisley, England tomorrow to shoot the Imperial Meeting. Been dreaming of this for years.

        I bullied my Battalion Commander into getting me two M14 sniper rifles (this was before the M21 was standardized.) I had one trained sniper, so he got one and I got the other.

          Did you do any good? I am saving back pop bottles to get a semi to go with my mini.
