    Since we are on the topic of importing I was looking at the ima site the other day, going through their flint and percussion nepalese cache guns and equpiment they aquired. great deals and alot of history if you like projects on some.

    Have you ever looked into finding any things like this ?

    You'd think Greece would do everything in their power to make money. It should be their responsibility to the taxpayer.

    I agree, a compilation of Johns tales would be awesome!

    I think the main problem Greece had was the lack of tax payers. :D

    You may find that part of the problem with Greece is that the politicians have already done everything in their power to make money... for themselves. Now they've figured out all they have to do to get out of this mess is to look like they're listening to what the IMF/EU is saying. Melting guns makes them look like little saints.

    That day was about 15 years ago.
    Lever Arms brought in a container or two from Denmark. I bought two for $150 each, in damn good condition.
