The IBMeraphim

The IBMeraphim*

In other good news this week, my order request for one of the 1,007 Italian-return M1 Carbines in "Service Grade" manufactured by International Business Machine Corp. made it to the offices of the Civilian Marksmanship Program at 10:00AM on Monday, July 7. Hopefully my order request will be one that is filled rather than rejected. Abby over at Bad Dogs and Such advises me that if the news is bad, I'll probably hear fairly quickly. If the news is good, it will take 5-10 working days before I receive notice. At least, she tells me, that's how it worked when she got her Saginaw S'G'.

* - "IBMeraphim" is a term from the five-book series by David Drake and S.M. Stirling, The General. If you've read them, you understand. If you haven't, I don't think I can explain it to you in less than 5,000 words, so I won't even try.
