Try this one - there was a technical glitch one year with the printing ... the suggestion was that 'I should draw the diagrams on the board instead'!

Jack

Did you draw them or wait until the technician arrived to fix the printer..:wink2:^&grin

Ahhhh....The civilian world. To pull a trigger in combat is only something some men will experience in their life time. Oh yeah....bold caps off

You don't seem to be able to say 'Ok guys you are all right, I messed up it is just easier to produce an m1 carbine in 1/30th than an M1A1.'

You just seem to want to have a dig at me?:salute::

So if you're saying that I don't know what i'm talking about and that I'm wrong about the M1 carbine...does that mean you are saying that every member on here who is agreeing with me about the M1 carbine are also wrong and have no idea what they are talking about as well? That's a dangerous claim.

M1 Carbines had all wooden stocks.

M1A1 Carbines had all wooden stocks which were shortened near the trigger guard and had a folding butt which could be folded or unfolded.

And Andy mate I'd hate to tell you mate but if you're saying you have an original M1A1 carbine with all wooden stock then you've been duped mate...

I'd go get my money back right now!^&grin

Seems the only knickers in a twist here are yours Andy as you felt the need to create a whole thread just to try and prove me wrong and have a dig about me reenacting. You fouled up because not only was I right but you now look foolish having digs at a young guy and trying to prove them wrong when anyone who knows even a little about the m1 and m1a1 carbines knows the difference.

Think on that.

Scott

P.s. don't try and fold the wooden stock*

I have to disagree Vicknor. I thought Andy's reaction was rather tame.

I'm wondering if you saw Scott's original post in the Dispatches thread; that was what Andy was responding to.

Brad

Brad I don't know what your problem is these days.

Andy is the owner of a company we all buy from yet here he is launching a personal attack attempting to slate with a thread started by himself. If this was startes by a simple member with no 'big business' behind them the member would be chastised and penalised.

It is unfair that certain people get special treatment.

Thank God you're not a mod anymore I'd have no chance!^&grin

How much thought did you put into writing these two posts Scott? It appears very little and if you cannot see that your initial post wasn't written very well and the responses from Andy and others criticizing your post then you have a lot to learn about life and being mature.

Have a think about that before responding but if not then I guess I'll be attacked as well.

Andy is a company owner. If an owner can't take crificism without reacting on a very personal and embarassing level then they are not fit to be in charge of their company.

Andy is a grown man who cannot take criticism from anybody especially young people. This is not a good part of character.

I am a collector and in my first post.on the dispatxhes thread I did not launch a personal attack at anyone. This shows very poor character on Andy's part as he has created a whole new post to have a go at me. He has responsibility as a manager not to do perty things like this.

He should be ashamed.

Where are the mods? Seems they are too petrified to do anything when a company owner over steps the mark even when they take a hop, skip and jump right over it they are silent.

Double standards at its finest.

Perhaps time to take a breath. You have mentioned people not listening to the young as much as they should a number of times in two threads. You have mentioned that Andy is a 'manager' and you have questioned his fitness to be a boss. Bad days at work happen to us all and you may be having some. Don't let what happens at your work inform how you deal with people in your own time. It will ruin your hobby ... if that is indeed what is happening ... but perhaps this is just a foolish thought from an old man.

Thank you for the good laugh Scott ^&grin

I'm sure several people are thankful I don't moderate anymore, myself included.

I am closing this thread it serves no useful purpose now as is on the verge of becoming a witch hunt. I feel it could have been handled better on both parts, perhaps a response via PM?
