There's only one BB as far as I'm concerned...

I think 'established historian' is generous. He's a pop-history writer with a YouTube channel. A lot of his videos have turned out to be complete bollocks as well. I was a fan of his many years ago but I don't trust any of his claims anymore.

I wouldn't spend six pence on a hicapa.

Dear god, that poor, poor two-toned Mauser at the back...

Companionship...

I hope they branch out from this and make a wider variety of revolvers with the same system. I would love a Smith & Wesson model 10.

Would the shells be compatible with ASG Dan Wesson shells?

Any word on an SLR version?

A Second World War British infantry kit is definitely on my radar. I'm split between the S&T and the Ares, particularly as Ares do the No. 4 (T) scoped variant.

I've had an S&T Sterling for about 6 years now. The thing thrives on neglect. It gets regular hard use with minimal maintenance and it just won't stop. I would definitely get another S&T product.

Are you just running standard gear with it or are you going all out with battledress and '37 pattern webbing?

I live in the North West and site options have become extremely limited in the past few years. Bravo 22, an old classic, fell victim to COVID. Redworks in Wrexham, if any one remembers, was only open about a year but was one of the best ran sites I've been to, was turfed out without notice by the landlords a few years back and as far as I know never found a new home. Now I've just found out Alpha 55 went in December for the same reasons. Without naming names the remaining sites within reasonable driving distance are pretty mediocre. It's very disheartening and am considering packing in the sport for the foreseeable future unless I relocate. Is this a phenomenon people have observed elsewhere in the country?

This was more an inquiry about what the difference between the two different models rather than anything to do with the price.
