It feels like a week to me, but then again I'm scrambling!
C&Rsenal
my bad.

The comblain is definitely capable of a smokeless loading and it appears some ammo was issued smokeless, I just didn't have enough detail to promise anything
C&Rsenal
hooray!
C&Rsenal
my apologies

This question might bug the shit out of you. However, you said “next week” in relation to part 2 of the Comblain. Did that just mean: next episode in 2 weeks as usual or am I right to get a tiny bit overexcited? Ta!
John S Wren
Thanks for this. Much more elegant system than I had realised. Now I want one!

Not a expert here but i was told the Comblain didn't get as many conversions or adoption is due to it costing more than the RRB
Bruce Brodnax
Given the success converting RRB's to smokeless chamberings, I'm surprised the Comblain didn't see such activity? It certainly seems a rugged & fast action, well-suited to such an update. Perhaps the next episode will reveal more about attempts to bring this appealing action into the modern age? Hope s,o! [NB: I think I may have inherited my dad's love for single-shots; he grew up on a farm during the Depression, & would get a hiding for wasting ammo, so had a real love for the simplicity & elegance of single shot rifles. He got a look of rapture on his face when talking about Ruger's release of his model 1!]

Wooo now I got something to watch while "working" at my "essential job".
Thank You! Thank You! I was so in withdrawal, had the shakes and the jitters for a week and a half, the sweats with flashes of hot and cold for a week. I so needed my C&Rsenal Primer fix !!!
