    Sorry mate, we are like the apes, things have'nt evolved at all. It's getting so bad that our environment is being threatened and we are rapidly becoming close to extinction.
    So go out in a blaze of glory, smelling of sweets solvent, floor scattered with blueish peices of forby, bottles of hoppes with rags stuffed in the necks to use as molotov cocktails, and the ever present stubbie of whatever in hand.

    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).

    You could all ways try the way they cleaned them in WW1 which was to pee down the barrel as the ammonia acted as a solvent of sorts (Ha Ha Ha) and or pored boiling water down them to clean powder residue out of them then hit them with the solvent. The old corrosive primers this works a treat as it strips the salts and residue from the barrel, which also heats it up in preperation for useing a solvent to lift the copper from the rifling. And you can do this while lubricating your throat with a cold drink or a nice cuppa depending on your disposition.
