Thanks for that info Guisan. I spent a little while with the links and mostly looking at Fontainebleau, France. I'd like a chance to wonder around that town for a week or two someday. The Vetterli cadet rifle is the most apealing to me. I remember seeing what looked like one converted to a nice targ...
