Note the forward mounted rear sights. The No. 4 had the rear sights over the bolt. Also the No. 4 had an inch and a half or so of bare barrel forward of the front sight. Definitely a No. 1.
Oy Ok a little humanities. JRandom got me started on this. It’s from googled archives.gov
The term parchment is a general term for an animal skin which has been prepared for writing or printing. Parchment has been made for centuries, and is usually calf, goat, or sheep skin. The term vellum from the French veau refers to a parchment made from calf skin. The manufacture of parchment is quite involved. After the skin is removed from the animal and any hair or flesh is cleaned away, it is stretched on a wooden frame. While it is stretched, the parchment maker or parchminer scrapes the surface of the skin with a special curved knife. In order to create tension in the skin, scraping is alternated by wetting and drying the skin. The parchment is scraped, wetted, and dried several times to bring it to the right thickness and tautness. Sometimes a final finish is achieved using pumice as an abrasive followed by chalk in order to prepare the surface of the skin to accept ink.
Look around you, Ed. There’s a lot that is pretty messed up. All of the mess comes from two actions too many modern Americans seem hell-bent on doing: forgetting God and abandoning the Constitution.
Looks like a Lee-Enfield.
Me too. I did calligraphy. I actually used it in high school to get into the popular clique. :)
Writing stuff like “Rob Loves Nancy” and all that rot. :)
:I think you forgot, the lefties get to pick and choose at their whim what is good and what is not, who gets what rights and who gets none. Plus they get to change their minds to suit given circumstances.”
Of course you’re correct. But perhaps if we played the same game...then THEY would start harping about “following the Constitution”...
Then good, let’s take this SOBs freedom of speech
And also by now, the 32% rate of unwed parenthood among whites is steadily escalating past the tipping point where the black family began to die off, and so are crime, school failure, substance abuse and alienation.
But like with prayer in schools, the elites get rid of outmoded, unnecessary relics of the past "for the children", because they know what's best for the rest of us. Look how well it's been working out.
Next up, the Constitution.
Ed, Ed! Why pretend?
islamist facilitator.
Schultz is German. It is the past tense of Schitz.
The lines have been drawn for far too long. Maybe it’s time to try a national divorce and divide the community property.
try violating the constitution Eddie ole Boy and see how outdated it is
I thought he died.
We should be glad it isn’t actually on hemp paper or some lefty would have rolled’er up and smoked’er down by now.
Schultz is an old POS that is outdated..
That’s about right. Some were made in the US..
“Don’t laugh! You’re next!”
No Constitution, no God... Seducing anarchy, Ed?
