Default Unwrapping

Perhaps what is needed is a publically funded museum run by purists!

Interesting curve to this thread.

One thing I would love to find is packing instructions for a variety of wireless kit, like 19-Set Spare Parts Boxes, any of the 52-Set Boxes and Cases, the 1/4-ton M100 Support Trailer for the .50 Browning on the M38CDN.

Always lots of Contents Lists to be found, but little or nothing on how to actually pack the items.

And to further curve this into a want list....has anyone even seen a stowage diagram for a Chev HUW wireless van? Particularly because there are about a dozen bins with specific sizes and securing straps that, try as I might, don't match either 11 set or 19 set equipment or accessories. So what the heck were they designed for?

Ed, while I concur with your sentiments, I believe the guy who paid $6000.00 has the right to do what ever he wishes with it. I watched the video and this rifle is like the woman that appeals more when she still holds her secrets. This rifle has bared its all and has less appeal for me now, than it did when it was wrapped. (not that I am making any claims of knowledge about the fairer sex)

Default Rifle Unwrapping

I agree, his rifle, he can do what he wants with it. I will also got a step further and state that not only was the unwrapping foolhardy and short-sighted but he posted it to Youtube simply as a means to gain 'likes' and acceptance.
