I love Enfields and I found this picture , It really caught my eye. I couldnt find a picture of a seagoat, which is the sign for people born in January. Soooo.... I went back and refound this picture and used it

[seagoatami]

That makes me feel so much better....LOL I was a bit confused.

As to my Avatar, I wanted something unique and we had been chatting about muzzle blast so I edited a picture I had taken from some video I got one night of my M-38 Mosin. I like ad parodies and blammo popped into my head as a great name for a fake toy company so...there ya go.

lol lol so thats what that is , thanks for enlightening me, been wondering for a looong time

Mine is only a representative of one of world's finest riflemen.

"They were the Leathernecks … the old breed of American regular, regarding the service as home and war as an occupation; and they transmitted their temper and character and view-point into the high-hearted volunteer mass which filled the ranks of the Marine Brigade.

—Capt John W. Thomason Jr.: “Fix Bayonets,” 1926, on Marines during WW I

First theyre gonna kick out the battle experienced NCOs due to downsizing and now theyre gonna replace them with females.
There goes 237yrs of the Marine infantry's pride, right down the shtter.

Mine is a silhouette I made from an on-line photo I found of a WWI-era soldier demonstrating proper shooting technique with an M1903 Springfield.
