Any pics of your SVT-40? It's a beautiful rifle and with the price of surplus 7.62x54r it's on my shortlist of future purchases - unfortunately for me they're quickly rising in value stateside - $800 and up. bunni 00:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Collection

That's quite an extensive list of weapons you own. I didn't think Canadians were allowed to privately own guns? Orca1 9904 00:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

No, they can but I think their laws are very strict-76.31.5.208 21:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)

I bet it's a pain to get ammo though-S&Wshooter 00:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Not at all. I go to the store, I flash my firearms permit, and I pay. Although if you mean getting ammo for all my weird old guns, then yeah, that's a pain, but I usually manage. - Nyles

Sorry if you don't like the Caliber listing on the image descriptor

We've strayed a bit from that, but that WAS the site standard in the beginning, to list the weapon and then the caliber at the end of the sentence. MoviePropMaster2008 03:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Death Hunt

This movie is right up your alley. Canadian Mounties in a manhunt in the Yukon in the early twenties. Lots of older firearms along with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson. How can you go wrong? If ever a page screamed for Nyles that's the one. Right now it's pretty sparse. Just FYI. --Jcordell 13:36, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Snider-Enfield artillery carbine

Thanks for the fix. I thought that maybe the model in the film was shorter but I just chalked it up to an optical illusion. I guessing since The Ghost and the Darkness was filmed in South Africa that the movie armorer was South African. Bet you can find some great old British firearms down there. Thanks again. Like you I have a fondness for movies set in the past using older firearms. Especially more unusual firearms. --Jcordell 21:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I've noticed we like the same movies. And by the way, I got a copy of Death Hunt - a project for my first week overseas.

I'm looking forward to it. Hey you stay safe over there partner. --Jcordell 00:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Reilly: Ace of Spies

Okay the page has been screencapped. Enjoy. I couldn't get good screencaps of the Webley automatic and the Mannlicher Model 1903. I tried, but no luck. --Jcordell 13:00, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

How are you doing?

Haven't heard from you in awhile. Still in Central Asia? Have you been frequenting the forum? I need to get over there more often. I've been adding to moves and I've created a couple. Though they are U.S. centric I upgraded The Sand Pebbles and Rough Riders. I would imagine those two movies would be of interest to you. I also upgraded McQ and created Brannigan and Sharky's Machine. Those are cop moves though and I'm not sure you're really into cop flicks. However I do like the older ones. Lots of revolver action. Anyway drop a line. Don't be a stranger. --Jcordell 20:25, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Good to hear from you - I'm still in Afghanistan, today is my D-25 for going home. Next week I'll have been here long enough to qualify for a bar on my campaign medal. Long tour. I saw the work you did on Rough Riders, very nice - I'm adding a couple myself. I haven't actually seen those films, but I'll definately add them to my list. I've been working 13 hour days over here (and that's when we're not doing operations) so I don't have much time for movies unfortunately. I've got a whole hard drive of films I never watched!

Good to know that you're okay. Long days. I remember my time in the Army and that was during (mostly) peacetime. Stay safe. Take care and thanks for the compliment.--Jcordell 22:44, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
