Enfield Obsession

[paulseamus]

At what point does a healthy interest in Lee Enfields become an obsession?

Purchasing and reading cover to cover all of Ian Skennertons & Peter Laidlers great books?
Checking ebay twice a day for new listings of bits?
Buying bits that seem to good to pass up.
Reading "Snipers to the Reich" for the 5th time?
Checking Milsurps 3 to 4 times a day for interesting new posts?
Purchasing a new gun safe because the old one is full?
Filling the new gun safe before it even arrives?
Working out how to emulate some of Tbones great projects without breaking the State laws on private gunsmithing.
Hourly checking to see if the Australian Arms Auction catalogue is published yet?
Dry firing a few after work because it's too hard to get to the range regularly.
Running a sweep to see if the new purchase from BDL or from Numrich's arrives before the scope mount from Roger Payne?
Being quietly excited when I discovered that my Grandfather was born in Enfield (1896) and lived a mile or so from the factory.
Working out how to pay the school fees and fund the purchase of a No4 (T)? Are there cheaper schools darling?

Obsession............. no, just a healthy interest in a collection of magnificently engineered pieces of living history!
