  1. The trigger group of the M1918A2 wasn't designed by JMB - it was designed by Springfield Armory in place of using the far better FN trigger group (which, unfortunately, wasn't easily backfired into existing M1918s).

  2. LOL. It's actually a "cap". Look at the official tag in the hat. And that's (as near as I can tell) a Cold War US Army "Cap, Utility", since its made from sateen cotton,and is definately a post-1944 pattern (when the Marines got their original 8 point utility hats - which were first officially called "Hat, Herringbone Twill" in 1942 - the points were set so there was a point front dead center; when the Marines wrote their first contract for 8 pointed utility caps, they specified the pattern of points be rotated sp there was a flat spot at the front to make applying the EGA iron on easier... and the Marines called it a "Cap"... when the Army kept the pattern after 1951 -interestingly enough, just for mechanics, as everyone else got the 1951 design we now call the patrol cap, they justvused the same specs as the Marines only without the EGA.) "Cover" is just Jarhead for "hat" (any hat). Unless it has an EGA on it, it's just a hat still. 😂

  3. I wonder if some of the issue with the Tisas might not have been (at least in part) related to you being left handed. Is it possible your firing hand was lightly resting against the bottom of the slide release, and occiaisoonally inadvertently activating it in recoil (especially if it, due to tolerancing issues, is just a hair "eager" to be engaged)?
