Default Big Mags

Judging by the extra huge Bren magazines, I would suspect that this mount predates the self propelled 100-round magazine.

They look to be about 50-60 round boxes - and I thought the sten mag was a 'thumb-buster'!

If you look closely the Bren mags are just two that have been welded together.

Another field expedient modification I presume. I wonder how well they worked and if they were prone to jamming. I've heard from several sources that it was common to only load 28 rounds in the standard mags to prevent misfeeds.

Don't let Alan Rock see those mags or we'll have him running for the Midol.

I was happy when that lamebrain SOB got slamdunked out of getting the Liberal leadership job ( I am sure he would have screwed that up even worse than PM the PM ).

But I was giddy when I learned that he was getting the hook as our man in the U.N. I suspect that wanker has been spreading a view of Canucks all over the world ( on my credit card, no less ) that I don't approve of. I hear that the African states are the latest recipient of his 'gun are bad' bull ...

I would be happiest if I could see that overpaid talking head so destitute that he were forced to sell pencils on the street in his downtown riding in TO - where all the gun hating Liberals should be forced to live.

I hope in his retirement he gets everything he deserves .
