Best at turning utilitarian workwear into a fashion statement?

W.E.G. for his promotion and adoption of assless chaps for daily wear in fashionable company.

I guess he's already covered by the "funny guy" designation, upthread.

Yes, we know all chaps are assless, butt...w00t!

I knocked myself out when the breaker bar slipped while barreling.

I barreled twice (2 different FALs) and forgot the handguard ring.

Those must be worth something.

WEG and the chicken mitt.

James and Ol dirty

Spatin and JerrymrC for hosting the first FAL shoots and the guys who wotrked hard to make it happen - Gman, Mark and the ROs.

Gunplumber and his how to build a FAL manual

ftierson for his consistently consistent sage advice.

Andy the Aussie and SXX made a nationwide tour of the US shooting FALs from one coast to the other.

The first falfiles group buy of IMBEL kits that had the kits scattered to hell and gone after a good old Texas storm. I don't remember the members that recovered all the kits and got them sent out but I think DABTL was in the thick of it.

and Goderator who made the falfiles happen. I hope she is well and happy out there beyond the files

 

[Andy the Aussie]

Those must be worth something.

..... you my old friend get a very special "participation award" at the very least ....
