Little works on my Bren this week.

Slide Magazine Cover was improperly installed, so I installed it correctly!

Did the S.A.S Desert Raiders have Training shoes during the last War?.................

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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

They used to wear an early form of desert boots invented by a bloke called Captain Barratt of the 8th Army,. He eventually went on to own and run a large chain of shoe shops in the UK icon

called, strangely enough Barratts. So there it is if you have ever bought a pair of shoes from Barratts. By coincidence, this liottle story appeared in the National papers here in obituary form a few weeks ago after the man himself passed on

In Aden, the terrain was toooo tough for crepe soled desert boots so leather soled/ammo boots or the later DMS boots with woolen socks rolled down over the tops were the norm. Nylon socks were a killer of feet as they sweated like a vicar on his way to hell! Vehicle tyres off road were lifed in weeks

What about pistols and stndard rifles? But it's a BIG country, lots of open big wide open spaces, sparsely populated and difficult to Police and........

Peter
In my country the criminals have more rights than the victims. It's hard for me to explain in English language the current situation of the use of firearms by the good people. The politicians do not know how to stop delinquency, since the current government over 10 years ago, that his State Policy are human rights of the victims of the military dictatorship, therefore have been commissioned to disarm civilians and the Armed Forces. I want to not comment on this particular issue because it is difficult for me to explain in more detail.
Regards
