I thought you were pulling my leg, then I read the web page. I don’t care if the factory did it, it’s still the gaudiest piece of crap gun I’ve ever seen in person. A gold-plated Universal is still a...

I have been on vacation this week, and it's been a good collecting week. Stopped by the TMP park for CMP, found a 1093 and a 1917 for the collection last Saturday. Baldwin County AL was having their...

Can you show a picture of the barrel marks? I'd be interested in that.

That "No 4 Mk 1/2" looks like the "No 4 Mk 2" that was done to my gun somewhere in India (probably) or Ethiopia, not at...

I finally got to take the old lady out to the range, and I even played a little bit with the SloMo on the iPhone:

The accuracy is incredible, and...

My understanding is that the the reloading powder companies are essentially the Big Lots (or now Ollies, if you wish) of the chemicals business. Lake City needs 10000 pounds of powder A, so DuPont...

I mentioned that I'd post post-oiling pictures of the old lady. I've gotten it down to where most of the wood is barely absorbing oil on each hourly pass, especially on the inside pieces, so I feel...

Finally found the original quote:

80% of English words originate in other languages. It’s not in our tradition to ask nicely to borrow them.... :)



I wanted to follow up with pictures of...

As some other posters mentioned, we can dislike the people and still use their example. That couple will probably never get their guns back, and if they do, they won’t be in usable condition and...

Sorry, should have made a circle:

There is some kind of mark in the finish in that area. It's clearer in person, but still not enough to tell anything definite. I may just be seeing...

I took A1828 apart again to confirm it's a Mk 2 (more on that next post), and I tried to use a crayon to fill in the engravings. I suspect there's too much oil on the gun for the wax crayon to stick,...

I am Kentucky born and bred, but I watched a LOT of British shows on PBS growing up, and we still watch a lot of British TV. (I am currently loading my newly-purchased region 2 box set of ALL of Last...

I am Kentucky born and bred, but I have loved British TV shows since I was old enough to find Mystery on PBS myself. (Last of the Summer Wine is getting copied from legal Region 2 DVDs to my media...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry about not replying sooner, been fighting a stomach virus (fortunately NOT the beer-named virus...) for the last few days.



Sorry, pictures are from a week or two...

About 15 years ago, I had to sell an Enfield (don't even remember if it was a Mk. 1 or a No. 4 now) that my mother had gotten me (bills to pay, etc.), and I was telling number one son this year that...

I got an Enfield for Christmas one year, but a year or two later had to part with it to pay bills. A couple of months ago I told Number 1 Son that I'd like another, and he bought me one...

Now I...
