    With all the knowledge on this site this question should be an easy one for you.

    Has every Caliber 503 Omega have a date feature?

    Cheers

    So let's goof off for the rest of this thread! :p

    1) A terrorist wants to blow up the rodeo. In just over 2 1/2 hours the main event will start. He stirs some chemicals together that will take 3 hours to react and mixes the concoction with hay. He then throws the hay over the fence, and watches one male cow eat the whole mess. What's the best word to describe this situation?

    a) cylindrical
    b) dreary
    c) abominable
    d) delightful

    2) The male cow that ate the explosive hay is not used in the rodeo. He remains out in the pasture and blows to smithereens, hurting not one human nor destroying any property. What's the best word to describe this situation?

    a) silly
    b) noble
    c) insensitive
    d) trivial

    I'll take "there is no such thing as a male cow"
    or alternatively "this would make more news than 100 people being killed in [iraq/afghanistan/all of africa]"

    IMHO there is no Cal. 30 SC

    Actually the series started with 30 SC T1

    And YES I own a few of them

    AJTT: 30SCT1 created 1940 with a run of 2,400 pieces. While for the subseconds, there is a "30" model preceding the 30T1.
