Man of Stout; the Australians commonly used Queensland Coach wood (or Box wood) and Victorian Ash for their Lithgow 303, but the only problem was people that over oiled the Coachwood, it had a tendincy to crumble and split, as my 303 wood is doing the same, but this also placed a burdain on gluing the wood back together, as the oil, which was commonly Linseed oil, did not allow any glue to bond with the wood. but to overcome this problem, either the oil can be boiled out, or seeped out with shelite. both take months to do, but finish in the same base to fix/repair. but i have no idea what wood the germans and italians had used for their rifles!
Rarely on Kokoda. Try about a quarter or less of 100 yards for a lot of encounters.[/QUOTE]
i was using this as a max distance, not as a general.
