I understand, it's not something most firearms users would ever use either, only the one's with particular firearms, like me. It's interesting though right? That rifle helped win World War One. It's kind of cool for me to have it, as a massive history guy.
Thank you for commenting on this post despite it probably not being your thing...And yes, I agree with your comment on Hive.
it never hurts to learn about more random stuff, you never know when it's going to come in handy at the pub quiz!
The historical side of the gun is really interesting and the fact you own one is even more amazing. I'm sure my 10 old great nephew would be fascinated about it, he's a massive history buff and loves anything to do with the wars. His mum said he could answer the history exam papers set for the 16 year olds.
I like your nephew already! He sounds like another 10 year old I once knew who was a cute, but intense little brownish boy who grew up to be less cute, but just as brownish. (Me). Lol.
