on a lighter note...

It's a clothing iron. This one looks like a steam iron.

Knowing what it is doesn't make you near as old has having learned to and actually using one of these.

The one I have isn't as nice as the one pictured with a wooden handle that helps to protect your hand. Mine is all iron including the handle, not as heavy, and isn't a steam iron.

DISCLAIMER:
I'm old, just not that old. I was given the iron in a junk box and showed how it was used and tried it. Burnt my hand because I let the iron get too hot. They make good door stops.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
