    Eh, unfortunately, the "batcave" isn't anything more than a space in a light industrial park. But it's a place in which my old machine shop stuff, WWII airplane debris, 1960s Ford Mustang rubble, assorted junk, and whatever my friend who shares it with me can edge in are going. Can't think that it would be anywhere near as interesting as Warren's stash. About the best L-E artifact in here currently is my oldest (and recently reaquired after a flurry of trading) L42a1 transit chest. Which needs to go home, but it's kinda big...

    The pilot holes in the G&H mounts above are smaller on the commercial mount, as shown on the mic's readout, than the two M1C mounts (one "new" G&H mfg., the other of questionable parentage) which are between 0.144" and 0.148". Which would mean they're quite small and would be drilled out further, or they're not B&S taper. If so, they'd likely be #1 size. Haven't found the pins yet. There's an M1C to reference but it's not here. And may have nothing to do with what went in the Canadianicon build, but I'd guess it would be the same.

    (Hadn't intended on getting back so quick. Was going to the range, but it's blowing like mad, and I forgot to print out some of bigduke6's targets!)

    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.
