I know Mike, them darn Scandinavians looks so much alike, you meet one, and you seen them all

However, it is common knowledge that the designer and inventers of the Krag/Joergensen rifle were Norwegians

Mike Venturino, in another article you wrote last year about the Lee-Enfield rifle, you officially wrote that the "Long Branch, Enfield factory" was located in England

Starting to wonder if all that gunsmoke and recoil has any effect on your writing

It's probably the lead.

Maybe some Wild Turkey too. Can't fault a dude for that.

Denmark, Norway & the US adopted versions of the Krag-Jorgenson rifle.

Mike is largely full of smoke when he writes about milsurps. I suppose he figures that if ones one of each it makes him an expert on them....

Mike is no expert by any means of the imagination but at least he's writing about milsurps.

As a writer Garry James is a much better Authority on military rifles in my opinion.

That would be some long branch. Perhaps it should have been located in a big tree.

I read the article about the LE last year or whenever it was. I don't read anything he writes anymore.
