why do you think its about a compensated barrel.
do you use ammo from that era in competition or do you hand load using modern powder, cartridge, projectile and primer, The data you use, presuming you reload or hand load, that data, is it current or is it information available back in the day?
if people then wrote the information down for others to learn from then, why is it so frightening that people are still writing down information in the hopes that other people will learn from it too; currently. Why does that scare some people. Current era, current information? makes sense to me, handloaders and the vendors who sell hand loading products. Kind of a safety issue to some of us. And you are against this because....?
its not about whether the info is new and untried nor is it really about the fact that its old hat. its about making the information available and affordable. why dont some people get that.
if you dont know if whether or which book might have information on compensated barrels. you should get copies of them and read them. who know's. if you can, it might improve the shooting ability of yourself and or your rifle. And if not: why deny it to the rest of us, take it or leave it but allow us to aquire that knowledge. Dont make choices for me. I dont know how others feel about this but Dont make choices for me. Thanks anyway, I'm sure you had my best intentions in mind. but dont. Other may speek for themselves.
Infield Inch? so we're done talking about the usefulness of current publications and you want to talk about "the enfield inch" Gee, I hope your not reffering to that book that was published.....when? well, no to long ago anyway. Maybe PM me on that so we can keep this about current publications that are available and affordable to OTHERS. Ditto on that compensated barrel subject. PM me. Or start another thread.
the fact that you state that there is nothing new pretty much underscores the reason your so against any new information getting out there. Dont feel bad.....I do that too.... to the competition that gets too close. I do it to steer them away from any ideas that make them a threat to me on the range. I get that.I steer the competition in rabbit hole directions. informally; but I do it too. So yea I get that.
But this thread is not on the range, its a forum, in the Lee Enfield Knowledge Library. and not all library's have only old books and old information, and if its just a rehash of the same information then where's the harm. If there is nothing new under the sun then why so scared. what the fear of rehashing old information. It would not be control would it.
it may or may not be new information (it absolutely is) but at least its available and affordable. I want to spend my money shooting my rifle, not colleting antique books I cannot afford or are not available at any price. But thats just me and a whole lot of others.
And your presumption that I'm shooting a worn out old rifle.....Based on what information? we're not talking about current publications any more are we? and is that the reason you are so against other people on this website obtaining information that allows them to shoot thier rifle better. Because you think my rifle is worn out?
as for the guages? I'm once again going to assume we are no longer dealing with books that will help us shoot our rifle better, and so have changed the subject. perhaps you could pm me on the whole guage thing or start another thread of your own on that.
Clearly, like those unread books you critique, those you tube video's, you ought to see some of them too. ...or not. Your right, they did not have you tube back then, and thats a very good reason to put yourself at a disadvantage on the range. but why others? i DONT get that. scared to be alone?
I'm lucky to know several of the authors who wrote the books myself and others informally so I cant brag like you are. But again, is it a thread about who we know or books that will help members here on the Lee Enfield Knowledge LIBRARY be able to shoot thier rifle better?
Why do some feel they must make that choice for me and on my behalf?
thanks but I think I got this.
its about books that help us shoot our rifle better, and if it helps others shoot thier rifle better, thats a bad thing because...?
OH but thanks for your contribution. You have greatly enhanced the quality of all contributions to the Lee Enfield Knowlege LIBRARY
