A TV company are shooting (if you'll excuse the pun......) a documentary in the Autumn about the development of assault rifles. They want to include the FG42 and the EM series. We have an early FG42 plus a 7mm and 7.62mm EM2. Anyone interested in coming to see them being fired. Can't promise anything but can safely say that they won't be fired by the public.

If there is a bit of interest, I'll see if I/we can't formulate something to make a bit of an observation/camera day of it.

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.

How am I going to convince the D^D they need to send me? I wonder what the boss would say...

**Strangely Brown** · 05-18-2009 05:37 PM

If possible Peter.

I'm pretty sure that if we can afford the $223k bill to send Peter Garrett (Oz Federal Minister for The Environment) and a couple of his staff to Chile icon

for a Save The Whales convention (read junket), we can afford to send a D/\D person and an assistant to a technical demonstration such as this

I'll write a letter to my local MP and the Defence Minister tonight. I'm sure there will be a positive outcome.

I'll pack a bag... Is it still cold over there, Peter?

Peter, Be sure to set rules for the gallery.

We had a scene from a movie shot in my area awhile back. I made friends with a crew member with a pair of wonderfully trained Weimaraners and asked about the public being around the shooting. He said that most all productions are very tolerant, but no movie cameras, no still photography and no cell 'phones involving the set when cameras are running.

My first impression of an assault rifle documentary is a grim anti gun kind of affair...I hope I'm wrong.

Lithy, a far more effective way to "save the whales" would be to torpedo a few japanese whaling ships.
