Of course those are cases and not bullets. Cats are notorious for their poor grasp of technical terminology, not to mention typing and English grammar....

First, some warnings

This page discusses weaponry. If this would bother you, then you probably should not look at this page. Maybe you should instead look at a page with funny pictures of kittens. Although, as seen in the example at right, even that may disturb some people.

This is not an authoritative description of how to assemble an M1 Garand rifle.

This page is nothing more than my notes about how I did that. You should not attempt this. You will undoubtedly damage your rifle, destroy your workshop, kill yourself, and do untold other harm up to and including unleashing Gozer and bringing on the apocalypse.

Do not try this at home.

OK, enough lawyer repellent...
