A good year all in all

[brnom2]

As far as Enfield's go I've had a good year. First and foremost, I found this forum and started the learning curve - had many question answered. Got told few times for asking dumb questions, but that was a learning for me too. Shot well in a number of service rifle matches throughout the year (and had my best year yet in my Fullbore target shooting pursuits too) Added 2 x Savage No4's to go with my 2 x Matby's. Acquired a nice repop cheek piece and set of reasonable quality mounting pads, and 2 x No 32 scopes (plan to send one of to Fulton's in new year for rebuild - Hope to track down a reasonable repop mount/bracket in the new year so I can start my T copy build in 2015 - fingers crossed) I also added considerably to my stash of mid to late 50's aussie made Mk 7 ball ammo (my favourite 303 ammo) for very little cost. With info from the forum/Mr Laidler's articles, I was able to re-instate nice 2 stage trigger pull offs to my favourite Matby. All in all not a bad year all round for me when it comes to Lee Enfield's. Would like to wish a Happy New Year to all forum members and their families. Lets hope 2015 is another good one

5 Hours to go (half way around the world from 'home') A Happy New Year to all Enfielders (as the clock gets around to your location)

Success of this year - landing the L42 with full CES, and case - but it took all of 'newspaper round' money.
Downside - selling the last of my Enforcers.

Investment - My No4T looks as if its made another 33% increase in value this year if the going rate for 4T, Box and full CES is around £4k

Are you in the Antipodes then Alan?

Mustn't grumble either this year. Started with a lucky find of an Aldis with original H&H mounts, plus another two or three that came in mountless during the year. Also a couple of PPCo's too.

Down side is I felt guilty so let the better PPCo go to fellow forummer Nigel so he can win more comps at Bisley. Also that I've decided that I will have to sell one of my cased L42's to help my 'need a new car by this time next year' fund!

Happy New Year to one & all!

Dunno about a Happy new year, it's started out as an interesting one.
Only the first day and have already purchased two Lithgows..............could be an expensive year.

Piccys muff piccys or a good description. Two on the first day is somewhat greedy.

Yeah Bindii, but the trade off looks like a new fridge, gotta keep the boss happy.
No pic's yet, will take a week to arrive, one from QLD and the other from Vic.
