Mic, Sean,
IIRC at the last skirmish, the Bullers Bastids and the De Wets Donders each were one soldier short.
Mic can now join either team (unless the Bullers Bastids has already recruited the extra Tommy.)
Mic you are wellcome with the De Wets Donders - follow your loyalty broeder.

Re: Ellisras Firearms Festival 27 August 2011
Sounds good. How do I contact the team leader for the "De Wets Donders"?
Re: Ellisras Firearms Festival 27 August 2011
Sadly I wont be able to be there, so Bullers Bastids are another man down, but no doubt Sean, Camo and co will find a good Tommy to show the donners who is boss on a bolt gun :ch:

Re: Ellisras Firearms Festival 27 August 2011
Great stuff!!
I would actually be better suited with my trusty old Boer War 1895 DWM Mauser. But this being a 303 competition, I wil bring my other trusty old 303 MSLE no4mk2

Re: Ellisras Firearms Festival 27 August 2011
Great stuff!!!!
Wil bring both of them.
Re: Ellisras Firearms Festival 27 August 2011
Willie, I was under the impression that only Lee-enfield or Mauser action were permitted...
Could I for example use a K31 (straight action) in 7.5swiss?
