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.

    Between JFK and MLK assassinations I feel that the USAicon and the world lost two of the greatest and most influential figures of the 20th century.
    RIP gentlemen.

    Not A Fan

    I'm not a fan of JFK. He chickened out and left the Cuban invaders stranded when we had promised air support. They were all killed or captured. He also used and abused poor Marilyn Monroe, then passed her on to Bobby when he was done. I will always believe they had her killed because she was going out of control and threatening to tell all.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    This too.
    And if you believe the story behind the book Mortal Error Mortal Error - Wikipedia
    An M-A1 fired the fatal shot.
    Very compelling case laid out by the author.

    Watched 2 doco's on the event The missing 3rd shot where they believed that round fired by Oswald went through a light /lamp on the street.
    The other was to do with the autopsy on JFK showing the presidents head and the wound which they say was inflicted by a high velocity projectile as the one that went through JFK & hit the passenger then into the car was fired by Oswald.

    In the end the evidence provided that it was an A/D from a secret service agents M16icon or 15 (either one) that struck the president in the pics most of the top right and Rt front lobe of the presidents skull and brain were missing due to the impact and exiting of the HV projectile.
    The shooter on the knoll was disproven as the round came from behind the presidents car the entry wound was not inclined as if it had been fired from an elevated position.

    And it makes perfect sense no one would be in any hurry to let that cat out of the bag. It seems to be the only way to make the puzzle pieces fit while at the same time explain the failure to release all the documents that have not been destroyed. If true many have been carrying a very heavy burden for all these years. Accidents happen.
