| Five years waiting for my BM-59
It's almost five years since I started this thread: http://www.m14tfl.com/upload/showthread.php?t=3333
Things have happened, I got my M14 squad automatic and my BM-59 will clear customs on Friday.   And you guys complain about waiting 1-3 days, this will be five years in March. I got a bonus too, I get three Baretta mags that you can tell are made to last. I'll try to get some pictures in by the end of next week.

You wouldn't believe the tape etc. that has to be cut. Anyway, I'm in my glory now, Steve.

| I'm sorry to say that all but 800 pounds of them are still in Nam. Wanna really feel bad? Have you ever seen a 20' x 20 room filled floor to ceiling with BARs?
Getting stuff out is easy, getting stuff IN anywhere is thrick.
