Ah yes Adam,

now you jog my memory ;) it was the MAS. And yes I do recall you had the odd visual issue with it :razz: .

Still as we say out here 'Beauty's in the eye of the beerholder'.

Maybe when I've sorted out with my mate about his 1915 MkIII I'll start looking for a MAS :mrgreen:

But maybe not - not for health reasons mind, just there's the sniff of a possible much more appealing purchase.

The trees.

Most living things went into hiding when Dave took his MAS out, including the trees, the sun and the temperature.

As I said its an affront to nature.

Your welcome to shoot with us A square 10 when you do make it back.

MAS owner, dhtaxi, 3rd from right!

That was a brilliant day at the range even if the weather was crap.

It was a pleasure to meet Woftam and PeterN2 and a real pleasure to shoot some of Peters exotica. :D

Interestingly Dave was holding his MAS in his left hand when the photograph was taken, but in the interests of decency the camera refused to record it.

Most optical systems have evolved an anti MAS filtering capacity ever since the rifle was ?designed?

Wrong word but you know what I mean.
