At this point, I'll actually be disappointed when the 1911 happens. Somehow, it will feel like the end of something we all shared...

Thomas Brown

Although it looks like “he-joe”, the Spanish word for son is pronounced “he-ho”😀

Eric Elcock

Agreed, I am starting to think the 1911 will be a three part grand finale.

Anders Patrick Bradley

Also “hulian”, not Julian. If you see an “x” or a “j” in Spanish, it’s an H sound. And a double L is a “y” sound.

Phil Byrd

@William Katz, that's my shtick

Phil Byrd

This is not a 1911

It's nice too see the Basque country get to work in France. I'm just wondering if the French Basque had similiar work history (small scale manufacturing) like the Spanish Basque.

MrBushido

Excellent work! I like the new format. More references to past episodes and a bit of dry sarcasm tossed in (darn gun jesus 😉). Its more conversational than previous rigid story-time. I like it.

MrBushido

I dont know about being disappointed. It will definitely feel like the end of WW1 and the transition to WW2. Still looking forward to it and the potential sarcasm that will go into that episode. 2 world wars!

15:55 Is it just me or does the firing pin retaining cross-pin seem ridiculously too long?

Guys: just curious, but what is the asking price for something like this in the US? I can't find one on GB.
