Thanks everyone - glad to know I'd not missed anything!

Simon; I enjoyed the Trafalgar - might have a go at The Phoenix if tables are available (so long as it doesn't clash with a Somme trip!).

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.

Roger,
I agree with PL from shooting point of view the L1A1 reticule for range estimation is not accurate, as other items snipers are issued with to do this job, not to mention the 100 yard rule... if it more than 100 yards or closer than 500 yards etc.. As for ex SAS men there seem to be a lot around especially after 1980 embassy siege...

Yes, the Iranians would have had to have extensions built prior to the assault to get them all in.

We sometimes get Walts and fellow travellers at the HBSA table pontificating about some rubbish or other. Some people just let them go on but I like to get stuck in - just like I did(n't) at Princes Gate.

A police 'sniper' told me once that he was in the police equivalent of the SAS!

Crikey! It must be hell tabbing across the Beacons in those pointy hats.

I'm glad that mystery is finally solved! So what was it like BP?

Roger,

Finally managed to dig out the page in the German icon

Manual referring to using the Grat as a range finder.

Cheers,

Simon
