Here's an article from Gun Digest 1990 44th Annual Edition, graciously scanned and emailed to us by member Brno8x57 (click here). Thanks George ...

It provides additional background to the pics of a battle damaged rifle stored at Warminister, depicted in Peter Laidlericon's article:

SMLE hit by AP round !! (by Peter Laidler)

To be able to read the text in these scanned images, their file size had to be about 2 megabytes each, so be a little patient when you click on the thumbnails. The best way to view (and save) them for use on your own computer, is to save the PDF file version also provided here, which uses the free Adobe PDF reader.

Note: After you click on images to ENLARGE them, you may find they automatically size smaller in your browser's window making them harder to view. The auto sizing is your browser's way of keeping images entirely within the screen size you have set. Move your mouse pointer to the bottom centre of the pic and you will see an options panel appear. There will be a small square box next to the large X, which will have a pointer arrow sticking out of it. If it's illuminated, it means the pic you're viewing can be enlarged, so click on this box and the pic will EXPAND and open to its normal size.
