Okay, now I know that I'm officially living in some bizarro universe.
1. Last night I saw an ad for another one of those idiotic dating shows called "Farm Date" or something similar.
2. This morning, while searching Chapters website for a book that had "safari" in the title, one of the results...
I was totally unaware of this until you posted about it, but then it wasn't shown on our TV. I did look it up on IMDB. I can't believe they destroyed the car and replaced it with modern plastic ****!!! At least his pistol was made of Man Metal. He's have looked more believable if he'd shaved off...
True, but I've been using the same set of .45 ACP steel dies for years. They still work fine. Besides, these are for looking, not using. The ground is littered with .40 S&W / 10 mm carbide die sets for reloading.
I've been following this thread for days and only just remembered as I was tidying up my gear, that I have my own contribution to Bren Ten memorabilia: About a year ago I picked up off the web a set of RCBS dies labeled "4 die set 40 caliber Bren Ten". They look to be BNIB, even the label looks...
They're almost harder to find than their namesake. It's a pity no one makes a proper pellet version - in full Sonny Crockett white metal, of course. There's plenty of supermarket-price-gun autos in .177, but no Bren Ten and no Browning Hi-Power.
My apologies, Beemer1. When you posted the photo earlier, I thought it was merely a stock photo of assorted Brens. I had no idea this was your own collection. Well done, that man! My hat's off to you sir. I envy both your gorgeous collection and your unswerving commitment.
Before the eager young Ethang manages to talk you into selling him that manual ( :) ), any chance you could scan it and make it available to us, maybe a PDF or just as pictures? I'm no more likely to own a Bren Ten than I am a flat-12 Testostarossa, but I'd love to add the manual to my collection.
It's really unnerving when you look at something online, or even just discuss it in person without even going near the computer, and suddenly it starts popping up everywhere you look, like they've got the place bugged. On tonight's installment of "Gun Stories", they're re-running the episode...
Genuine Galco. I read quite a write-up on the story of choosing the pistol and holster rig. Michael Mann was personally involved in that, rather than just letting the armourer handle it all. Something about him going to Galco personally to get it right.
