for the M1 carbine, is a doozy. I had waffled about buying one of the import imitation wool-lined “original style” ones, but the “Made in America” sold me, and the little korean guy who sells them cut me a $5 deal.

I brought it home and stuck the gun in it, and forgot about it.

Tonight I took it out, and filled the pouches on the side of the case with loaded magazines, and put the bayonet in the provided zipper pocket. Now I have a light carbine, with a hundred rounds of ammo, in a case with a shoulder strap.

I’m not of the “survivalist” type, but holding that pregnant little case in my hand gives me a good feeling.

I have to rework a damned serial cable because NORMAL USE has hosed it up, I die a little inside.

No, not “environmental”, though I am a little mental about this.

No, I’m green with envy at Partner’s recent purchase of an engineer’s bayonet for his 1911 Swiss rifle.

Yes. It’s two feet long. And perfect.

The only thing that has prevented me from getting one in the past, was the lack of useful info on whether this would fit on a K31.

Not only does it fit on a K31, the K31 loves it, and wants to have it’s baby.

Now I have to look for one.

Partner actually left the damned thing here last night. and trusted I’d return it to him.

As I handed it back to him this morning, I told him, “it’s a good thing I love you”
