Gunrunning on the Pan-American Highway...

Argghhh!
A traffic stop yesterday might have been interesting depending on the officer and the jurisdiction....


Four WWII Australian 3" mortar bomb boxes, some full of the fibreboard containers, some full of canvas and accoutrements for the 3" and 4.2" mortar.  Two different worms for the 3" mortar, a one-piece and a folding version.  Two different Aussie 4.2" mortar rounds (proveably empty, of course).  A steel box for carrying PIAT bombs.

And, of course, a PIAT.  Not anything illegal among 'em.  But depending on the officer, much effort might have gone into trying to find a way to make 'em so.

But, as you can see, they made it to the Castle just fine.


A PIAT, ammo boxes, 4.2" mortar rounds and other miscellany that we imported from Texas.  After they had been imported to Texas from Austraila.
Yes, the Castle now has *two* PIATs. That gives us one of each style of bipod/monopod. D-uh. Need to find another rubber buttpad, though. I've got all the canvas, but no buttpad.
