Of all above, I have tried - borrowed - Blaser R8, Merkel Helix, Strasser RS14. Of these three, Merkel Helix had stiff bolt. Blaser R8 and Strasser RS 14, had smooth bolt operation.

Safety.

Walther came out with RS 3. Franz Albrecht is the face of marketing campaign. Straight pull, bullpup, 3 medium calibers, carbon barrel, proprietary muzzle brake and proprietary silencer. 6 round mags. Barrels non exchangeable. Buffalo calibers are not (yet) available. :E Shrug: For me? I dont...

Exactly!

Regarding Denmark, same thing as UK - Falkland islands. (Except, UK had Navy to send). But same attitude. In my opinion, EU is in shock, and lost their bearings. Things on daily basis are such, I cannot follow, and I dont know what to expect tommorow. They find themselves in same positions, I...

Not too far from the truth. And not funny I live in the region occupied by Italian forces, before and during ww2. Mussolini fascist regime enforced strict Italianization through school, civil administration, laws, businesses and when necessary by lethal force applied on local population...
