Hi Miqueleter,

Matchless? Me???!!!! Man, I tell you I own about 15 meters of original matchcord , plus a lot of lengths which I have put into the serpentines of my guns! No kidding ...!
Nobody's gonna call me matchless unless he is up to mess around with that Bavarian connection!

Thanks a million anyway,
and best,
Michael
