Interesting American Rifleman story from 1942

[WarPig1976]

As a modern day American I can say the SMLE always looked bulky to me. A fine arm non the less. The fact is most American shooters don't understand the finer points of getting one to shoot with decent accuracy that's why they're not that popular here. Lets be honest here, a whole lot of ducks need to be in a row for one to shoot good, No1 or No4. Glass bedding the action and/or free floating the barrel as we know ain't gonna cut it.
Fellas, let's not start casting stones at each others countries because that's a two-way street that dead-ends both ways...
