  1. Wether Marine Raider, Ranger, or FBI Agent, nothing quite says I mean business like a BAR…

  2. Did the Tommy buttstock slip down off your shoulder ?
    It does off mine.
    I wonder why they curved it that way ?

  3. I’ve held a Thompson and a BAR a few times never had the chance to fire them. I”m so very green right now 🙂

    Ed- Next time I’ll fire a mag for ya!

    1917 water-cooled. Fun all around.
