So this visitor at the range, guest of one of our members…dude from Germany, has an issue with the pistol he is shooting. The sight of his borrowed pistol is loose.

As I generally take the truck to the range with the large toolbox, they ask me if I have a set of Allen wrenches.

I asked
“Metric or Standard”.

The response from the german dude:
“Metric IS standard”.

We all laughed and I let him use my tools to tighten the screw and more shooting ensued. Then followed by a discussion of tools and it is apparently true that everyone detests Whitworth specifically and pretty much all British engineering in general.
