WWI film They Shall Not Grow Old

Pete Jackson is legit. His first film was Bad Taste. He handmade all the guns for that movie. He got gun magazines, went to his garage, and made 1:1 scale replicas of UZIs and AKs

He is but he is a weird dude. All sloppy and walking around barefoot. He reminds me of Rick Rubin

Expanded release is on the way:

Just went to this. Anyone can watch this and take something from it. A+

My son called yesterday to say how impressed he was with the movie and the back story. I hope it shows somewhere within a 100 radius of me.

Next time he’s home I think I’ll let him shoot my 1917 dated Lee-Enfield #1 Mk. III*. Not only is it in pretty decent condition but something of a rare bird. Skennerton’s book identified it as a “peddled scheme” rifle; somewhat cobbled together by an obscure firm Standard Small Arms-- aka “SSA”. Apparently the government furnished receivers (only) to the firm which completed the rifles.

God knows what that rifle must have seen in its 102 years of existence.

Had it on order within a minute of finding out about it, did not regret it one bit.
