Have a good time Chris as this is the best of the Finnish shows. Are you meeting up with JTV, Bokmal, Lemmy, and the crowd? Lemmy and Jarmo have a couple of tables there and I think there are about 10 or so gunboards Finns going to meet at the show.

P.S. I do not understand people who want to go to Rhodos to see some castles's ruins and we have here cities like St.Petersburg. If you go to Eremitace in St.Petersburg. You need (wachin with a blick) one piece of painting for some 3 minutes and you need one year to go them trought. And more they have from germany stolen property in cellar.That is more they have in Louvre in Paris

L/26

Looks like your having fun Chris!

I shot one of those L-26s during one of my trips to Finland. They are very accurate for an open bolt gun.
