Cheers for the advice Bindi. You should be a life coach! I've managed to do the ('take early retirement) & walk the fields at leisure' bit..............I just bypassed the 'make lots of money' part......

Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
Fitting a 2A1 magazine in a No 4 works well. They charger load, feed and eject better than a Sterling mag. Cheaper, too - about $75 landed ex USA for a good repro one.Quote:

After working all known hours & watches (when at sea) and mainly nights (still do), It does take it out of you, but starting job share last year a few months before xmas, has certainly had a change for the better, money is tight but quality of life plus quality time with the daughter......... priceless, also gives a chance to get through some projects.Quote:

I look at those Enfield mags like this............ If they were made in the mid 60's era of almost agricultural press facilities then moving on 50 years, to press out an identical magazine now should be simplicity itself. It just needs a bit of initial investment in some tooling. Just like remanufacturing anything from MGC kingpins to telescope and IIW brackets to lenses.
Just needs someone to get started. But difficult, it ain't!
That's the expensive bit and if you manage to sell a 100 a year not exactly a good profit margin..... (I,m saying a 100 hundred as I,m not sure what the demand is) but I can't see it being that much......... of course if it was labeled 7.62mm sniper ............Quote:
