All on the basis of two dead birds that happen to have lead in their systems.....and evidently no "scientific curiosity" to find how it got there. Where's the Obamassiah on this one? I thought the guy was big on "science"?

    I still believe to this day that those two Condors to are referring to were PLANTS by the green weenies.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Not a problem. Where there is a will, there is a way to overcome and adapt. Myself, I'm stocking up up on flints and black powder until 2012.

    coastie and milsurp

    nothing new here. While at sea Ensign "Jerk" was "surveying" old gear.
    I was delivering a report to the wardroom.
    He started going through a box of stuff.
    "Anyone want an old Argus camera?"
    No one answered and he tossed it out the porthole!

    I dang near jumped after it!

    None of the other stuff was as useful. !968, CGC Gentian, WLB 290.

    Good to save some stuff!

    Better watch out that the gestapo at the ATF dont reclassify your flints as Destructive Devices.
