    Suncrorite 259

    So, I’ve come into a few drums of Suncrorite, any instruction on the use of? I know is: it seems to have been used on most things that wanted to be black, it creates a chemical bond with steel, it’s a trifle toxic.

    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.

    We had a young guy that went and bought a set of jeweler's screwdrivers...went to draw his FN for daily cleaning. He removed every shred of parkerizing from that rifle and turned it in silver in color. He was immediately charged with damaging... Later he took his commission to officer.

    Reminds me of something I read many years ago that still remains with me.

    Exchange duty by Brit soldiers to USAicon. On question from US soldiers where were the Brit officers, as they didn't see them often. Answer by Brit soldier: "When the time comes to die they will be there."

    The very basic tenet of being an officer. Always leaves a deep impression on me.
