    Pocket Pencil Flares

    Found this in the garage.

    How many of us remember using these?
    I made a modification to this one. The tip will also accept a .25 ACP round.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I had the UKicon equivilent for some years. The ones made by Pains-Wessex. They didn't have the zip-gun attachment however. We actually classed them as a weapon if you can beleive that...

    They can be pointed at someone and let off. So I guess that IS a weapon. I wanted to try this out the other night, but then it would not be a complete set. I don't know where to get more of the flares.

    The flares should be available to anyone that supplies pleasurecraft or fishing boats. Most outdoor suppliers should have the mini flares also. They may be shorter or longer but will screw in the same.

    I'll look into that. I can let off the new ones and keep these together.

    Thanks

    Thumbs up

    I've got 2 or 3 of those around here some where, probably with all my other flight gear.
    I picked up a couple of green plastik tear gas cartridges in the mid/late 60s to have as an addition. Figgured that I could get 2 uses out of them - flush an animal out of a burrow or slow someone down who was chasing me.
    In Viet Nam I carried one in the pen pocket on my jungle fatigues when I went to town. Figgured it wouild take the fight out of 1 or 2 cowboys in a pinch and I had a S&W Chief in the side pocke of my pants in case there were more than 2. Fortunately never had to use eiother one.
