Just bought some Staropramen ( on your advice) on the way home to test (in a scientific controlled environment obviously) . How on earth can a bottle of whiskey last that long, I drink brandy and only the really old stuff sees it to two weeks past opening, you'll have to up your game
My order from Waffen Centre Gotha arrived today, so the old Original Model 50 now has a decent front sight to match the diopter rear, and a synthetic piston seal, so that should be up & running all being well for the bash.
