Sulfur, water and metal don't go well together. Cordite used for the longest time in the 303 doesn't contain sulfur compounds.

First time exploring this area. Had no high expectations going into the area. Weather was pretty good. Lows of 5°C or so at night. Plenty warm in the tent. |

The Cooey 64 that needs a new bolt (well ejector and firing pin)and refinishing of it's stock might never get done at this rate. ... |
