It's just above the Fox 59 a little over half way through.

I figured there was some glitch putting it on the internet.

I was surprised by their response when I pointed it out to them.

"While the 1948 Fox .38 and the 1962 Veco .45 are very similar, the 1962 Veco .45 has a slightly different shaft and casing."

n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~ n~

Yep, the revised picture is certainly more like a Fox; looks like six bolts are required to hold it down.

Post by: ChrisSarnowski on January 13, 2012, 06:55:47 PM: I'm glad we got them to correct the picture.

Bill did a great job on the article and it is a pleasure to both read the words and look at the pictures!!!
