For me Mannlicher threads are now just full of Brians "white picture noise"...

You say " where relevant". Very often the picture in question is not relevant to the thread, as in fact is most of the other material.

...

While considering that why dont you create some threads showing us your own Mannlichers, including Grandads?? That would save you a lot of time trolling the internet for pictures and information that is already out there, as well as showing us something new and different.
If Grandads rifle were mine I couldnt wait to show everyone.
Nothing gets my attention more than a member who has something new with a " look what Ive got " post.
So, what do you say Brian, hope on smart phone and take pics for us.

You have a rather unique manner of asking for favors.

I don't care for childish cat fights, but here goes;

To this point I have answered you with civility (and a dash of sarcasm), even after your asinine "purported grandfather" remark.

In response to you now, however, I'd like for you to show me a single word that I had posted to this thread (prior to your bitch session) that was not directly relevant to the original post.

Was it the single image of a Sherlock Holmes type 'detecting' that set you on a hissy fit?

Where did I write anything about the MS being "boring"?

Get off of your high horse. I do not have quality images of my MS' details and do not care to take fuzzy snapshots of it. I do not own a 'smart phone' to "hope on [sic]", some of my telephones have dials (I "hope" you have a competent editor for your purported magazine articles). I also do not work for you.

As to what gets your attention - whatever blows wind up your skirt.


Actually, having just had the MS in hand and examining under magnification (with aging eyes), I have noticed a couple of interesting things about it.

Somehow I don't feel inclined to share them with you just now.

Just for you:
