Nice ta see the owd SLR wi the wooden furniture. The weapon of choice these days looks like a toy in comparison.

It's only my opinion having handled both, but I think the SLR was the better weapon!

Cheers Don, give him my regards when you speak to him again, ask him if he knows where Matt Matthewman is these days, he was one of my old canoe partners.
