Aluminium gets cold at night. VERY cold. ;) And, for all of you who think that reloading an M6 is a pain in the arse, try reloading a '32 Leica II, including trimming the leader with a small pocket knife, at 2 AM on the top of a parking building in the breeze. It is, shall we say, a "challenging" experience. The cup of tea at the end of it all is nothing short of liquid lifeforce! ;) M. - -- Martin Howard | "Very funny Scotty.
