One request Blue. I have noticed that you have use hyperlinks to photo bucket when posting the majority of you images. We would like you to upload your images directly to the threads when you post. What unfortunately happens with these links is that down the line the owners remove their images from photo bucket (or whatever) and all we are left with on the forum are empty links. This completely thwarts our attempt to create a strong archive of images and discussion for future research. Discussion about a weapon that no longer appears on the page is quite useless. If you have any questions about how to post photos directly please see this thread in the "sticky" section. Thanks.
