Fletchedpair thank you for that information. Only two thosuand makes the DRA a very rare gun, I should feel lucky to have handled a half dozen of them. Considering only 400 were non ejectors that is some consolation in not coming across one of those.

Mike Rowe is lucky, to have seen a side pedal 16. That must be a really graceful gun. In the 12 I feel the fence tends to overpower the bar a smidge.

Eugene, the ale was to prevent dehydration in the heat of the forge no doubt. Nowadays they would be drinking some politically correct electrolyte thing.
