Is that a look of satisfaction I see or could it be he is marveling at the cool lines and engineering of the MAS.

Sacre Bluey. What happened, has he been drinking ? Sniffing glue ? Having a seizure ?

That's the first time I think I've ever seen a photo of Adam without his "bonnet" on. Must have removed it in homage to that great French weapon he's playing with.

OH MY GOD :!: :!: .... Adam has turned to French firearms ... MON DIEU ... I am having a heart attack right now ... about time he turned to the DARK SIDE ... I think that my presence rubbed off on him :evil: ... now to teach him it is twenty-two and lever action ... If he can shoot a French rifle he can say those two correctly. :bigsmile:

I think that Whiskey he won at the Black Powder shotgun shoot has something to do with him shooting a FRENCH gun or as he would say a "cough cough" Frenchy thingy a magigy. :lol:

And where is his bonnet ? ... He never shoots without it ... Did Joe steal it from him ... hmmmm

We had our shoot today ... SUNNY and MILDLY WARM (82 degrees) ... No jackets or rain :lol:

FRANCE IS 'EN GREVE' TODAY!

M. Le President has asked me to furnish him with a FULL explanation regarding this incident and if I don't it is the Château d'If for me :shock:

Gentlemen,

Given the following:

1) Adam is never photographed without his bonnet

2) He has a reported aversion to French Rifles

3) The gentleman in the photograph seems quite happily handling a MAS (or should that be a, M.A.S.?)

Then the answer is quite simple -

It's not Adam, it's his doppelganger, his evil twin :razz:
