Mrs. Norton looked contentedly at her image in the long mirror which reflected a graceful figure in a well-cut grey habit and smart long brown boots, a pretty face and wavy auburn hair under the sun-helmet. Then turning away and picking up her whip she left the dressing-room and, passing the door of her husband's bedroom where he lay still sleeping, descended the broad marble staircase of the Residency to the lofty hall, where an Indian servant in a long red coat hurried to open the door of the dining-room for her. ...

Product Description
MY COUSIN FANNY


We do not keep Christmas now as we used to do in old Hanover. We have
not time for it, and it does not seem like the same thing. Christmas,
however, always brings up to me my cousin Fanny; I suppose because she
always was so foolish about Christmas.

My cousin Fanny was an old maid; indeed, to follow St. Paul's turn
of phrase, she was an old maid of the old maids. No one who saw her a
moment could have doubted it. Old maids have from most people a feeling
rather akin to pity--a hard heritage. They very often have this feeling
from the young. This must be the hardest part of all--to see around them
friends, each "a happy mother of children," little ones responding to
affection with the sweet caresses of childhood, whilst any advances
that they, their aunts or cousins, may make are met with indifference
or condescension. My cousin Fanny was no exception. She was as proud as
Lucifer; yet she went through life--the part that I knew of--bearing the
pity of the great majority of the people who knew her.

She lived at an old place called "Woodside", which had been in the
family for a great many years; indeed, ever since before the Revolution.
The neighborhood dated back to the time of the colony, and Woodside was
one of the old places. My cousin Fanny's grandmother had stood in the
door of her chamber with her large scissors in her hand, and
defied Tarleton's red-coated troopers to touch the basket of old

V3 Mechbox
Insufficient technical detail about setting up or options.Very poor quality photos.Look elsewhere for a good manual.

further product info
This book teaches you how to properly put together and troubleshoot a V3 mechbox. Unlike most guides out there which base solely on the trouble-free TM implementation, our guide has been developed based on the assumption that you will be using a mixture of mechbox parts from different manufacturers, that there will be all sorts of compatibility & fitting issues and pitfalls (MANY of them) which have to be properly addressed along the assembly process. Instead of solely focusing on gear shimming, we pay close attention to MANY small and frequently-ignored details (in addition to shimming) that are in fact critical to the smooth operation of your mechbox. We also guide you through the steps required for achieving the best possible air sealing and compression effect.

This book is a MUST READ if you want to master the art of V3 mechbox assembly, optimization and troubleshooting!

-> You'll find this guide extremely helpful for achieving the best possible air sealing and compression effect.
-> You'll find this guide extremely resourceful for guiding your mechbox specific parts replacement effort and troubleshooting all sorts of mechbox specific problems.
-> You're going to love this guide if you are to mix and match mechbox internals from different manufacturers!

What this book is about:

This Ultra FPS & ROF series book is an extension to the Advanced V2 Mechbox Guide marketed under the AirsoftPRESS brand name. With feedback from customers and reviewers we further develop the original mechbox guide to additionally cover manufacturer specific tech info for FPS/ROF optimization.

To achieve ultra high FPS, you need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that the desired FPS can be produced without sacrificing ROF and battery life. High FPS performance must be achieved with practicality in mind - you should not need to trade off power with other performance factors, and the gears should not get striped too easily.

On the other hand, to achieve ultra high ROF you'll need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that piston movement is fast enough to produce the rate of fire desired. That means you need to use techniques to reduce the friction introduced due to fast movement, to ensure the spring can rebound fast enough after compression, and to reduce the overall workload of the gears and the motor.

The primary goal of this guide is to help you improve FPS and ROF in a cost effective way. Different mechbox modification techniques are covered. Additionally, we address the issues of air tightness and battery configuration which are outside of the mechbox but are still highly relevant to the overall airsoft AEG performance.

The goal of proper air sealing is to fill every gap along the air flow path to minimize air leakage and create an efficient environment for propelling BBs out of the barrel. We teach you how to maximize air seal at the two most critical areas along the air flow path, which are the cylinder set (from piston to air nozzle) and the Barrel / Hopup set.

The correct voltage on which an AEG motor is required to operate is critical. Every motor model is unique. Different models have different operating characteristics. In general, a 5% decrease in voltage can often translate into a 10% decrease in motor torque. The goal of this section is to help you determine the correct type of battery pack to use for your AEG, as well as to teach you the corresponding charging techniques.

_____________________________
Airsoft has been well established in Asia for over 20 years, but only in recent years has there been much interest in the Western world. Most professional literature on Airsoft were written in Japanese, with very few translated works available. Even though we are seeing more and more tech tips (in English) popping up on the internet these days, too many of them were written by newcomers who don't really know what they are talking about. If you upgrade your AEG based on their advices, you may risk running into unexpected troubles.

At MechboxPRO (a subsidiary of AirsoftPRESS), we produce technical information based on input from practicing engineers, technicians and field operators who have been with Airsoft since the era of S.S. 9000. Because we are part of the industry, we know what information is really needed, and we make sure our books tell what people really need to know. We do not mind to criticize thing that doesn't work, and we will not hesitate to give you hacks and workarounds to difficult problems. Reading this book should be like having an airsoft professional by your side, passing on useful hints whenever you get stuck.

The Best Book on Mausers
If you collect rifles, shoot rifles, or have ever heard of rifles, you need Ludwig Olson's MAUSER BOLT RIFLES.Most of the rifles I see hunters lugging around Montana these days are basically Mauser M-98 repeaters of some sort,old wine in new bottles.

Olson tells you all about the history of that old wine in clear, accurate prose with some great photographs, line drawings and charts to illustrate things for the reader.The first center fire rifle I ever shot was a Mauser.

I didn't realize that it was a Mauser. It was a Springfield M1903-A3, but Olson explains the patent infringement issues which resulted when Springfield "borrowed" the basic Mauser design.Indeed, President Teddy Roosevelt, who'd faced M-1893 Mausers when he led his Rough Riders up San Juan Hill during the Spanish American War, wanted to adopt the M-1893 Mauser for the US Army.It had dramatically demonstrated its superiority to the .45 Springfield and .30-40 Krags carried by US troopers in that war.

At least we stole a great design.Olson documents it all with elegance and accuracy. This is a classic reference book which is why I gave it five stars.

mauser bolt rifles
A well organized and thorough reference for the Mauser collector and shooter. Not just a technical text, but also and interesting read. It is a reprint from the 1970's, so although appearing dated, it is continually updated for content, with the latest reprinting being 2002 for the 3rd edition. This is the standard by which Mauser books are compared.

Definitive Work
This book doesn't just give you the basics of weapon design or field stripping instructions, it does a complete history of the Mauser brothers, their company, their firearms. If you collect Mausers, this is a must buy. ... Read more
