    Invite Greenpeace

    Seems a little bit of cruel joke, but inviting the boys (and girls) from Greenpeace to participate and giving them instruction on ship assaults might save a lot more whales than ramming rubber boats into steel whalers. But, I am in favor of more direct action to cure a lot of the world's problems. Just olf fashioned that way I guess. Whaling an animal that is closer kin to us than a lot of the endangered species just doesn't make any sense at all. There once was a practical side to whaling, but kerosene and synthetic lubricants seem to have made it unnecessary. Preserving a traditional food of the Japaneseicon at the expense of such a magnificent species is simply criminal. But, they are our allies and you know the rest........

    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 ...

    Peter:
    This would be an excellent opportunity to check out the effectiveness of the EM2 round in comparison to other candidates

    I'll wait until it's nearer the time and arrange our part (the UKicon MoD) part of the day around a bit of a 'gathering' for forumers. Now that there is a bit of feedback regarding demand. It won't be an elaborate affair but we'll make it a bit of a show for your cameras.

    Thumbs up I'll be there if allowed

    Greetings,
    If there is an opportunity to see the FG42 in action, I would be deeply indebted to be in the gallery to watch it. Please count me in.
    Regards,
    Michael

    It's a shame those TV types are'nt documenting belt-feds as well! In any case, I would love to see pictures or video of the festivities. Just curious... will you bill them for the ammo?

    You just missed the filming of the belt feds Burpgun. They did a load of that last week.

    Anyway, re the shooting in September. Now that I have an idea of interest I'll formulate the day to accommodate the forumers subject to the usual stuff
