    Talking Son #1 learns sighting in (pics)

    I have son#1 in training to be a gunsmith. I've been working with him part time for about 18 months, but, I only had him doing bore sighting. He was heading out today so I asked him to sight in my M41B (1908 vintage) he would not show me the work targets, but, he did give me the shoot for grouping targets. Considering the wind and Prime-Partisan ammo I think he did pretty good for an 18 year old. I think he is about to get very expensive. I'm waiting on a Pac-nor barrel to finish up his F-classer, I'm glad I've got the reamers for 6.5X55. At least he can shoot surplus for warm up, Hmm, kids gotta love em-SDH

    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.

    Thanks, I haven't shot head to head with him since I've had major back issues, but, this spring that will change. I don't know if I can give him a run for his money at this point, but, who knows, the old man just may give him a good run for his age, but, he is hell bent on becoming a U.S. sniper, hmm, good graces will come in handy right now-SDH
