Cpt. Curl,

the photos you took of your .44 are the best I've ever seen documenting a firearm. So many angles, well lit, calm letting the lines of the revolver speak for themselves in ways most guys with guns (or photograpers targeting guns) can't capture. It shows your knowledge and respect for the subject. Craft, documenting craft, well worded and researched ... more craft. I like your loading bench... you like the science of it all too, and evidently, you SHOOT to boot! Do you hunt? Ever tote one of those lovely double rifles to Africa?

I really like your Purdey .303 - the cutaway view of the locks is fantastic, what an indulgence in steel. The curves are nothing short of voluptuous.... the stockwork sublime, and evidently it has balance. Wow, they don't make rifles like that anymore.

I can't help but show off my .303 SMLE that I cleaned up and rubbed 20 coats of boiled linseed oil on, my bayonet & my S & W Military & Police. Living history... Clean Break.
