    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.

    Interestingly, California was just in the news about this particular issue. They've bought some Teslas for use as police cruisers and the police officers who use them are rejecting them because they were trained to use the block of an engine as armor in a shootout. Of course, the Tesla has no engine.

    It's easier to fix a machine that repair a dead soldier.

    Not sure on that on Jim when Lithium gets exposed to air it goes up like thermite with scads of toxic smoke best get them their old cruisers back for fire fights.
    Also check out how many ppl are handing back or ditching their EV's in China so many fires and explosions from them we are getting fires here as well at houses from charging episodes so not sure on insurance companies paying out on that one !
