Maybe one day I'll be able to get to this seriously, possibly within the next year.

Lots of French guns on this board...take a look at this line.

Argo, thanks for posting that thread. I thought I had seen all the MF Ideal threads on here but somehow had missed that one. I was a fairly active member of the DarneUSA forum until it shut down last year. Had been trying to help make it a repository for MF Ideal information, as much as I could. Sad we lost it all. Sorry to hear time constraints on the Wingshooter project. Mike told me about that last week and I was really looking forward to the finished project. I can use my high school French to get through a lot of it when I concentrate but the gun jargon throws me off.
