    Sadly due to my very distant Frenchicon heritage leaving my face behind the bolt would have it slam into my beak which I am very fond of even with a good cheek weld after a good number of rounds like I did last Wednesday 45 odd my nose was a bit sore from my thumb.
    I get the usual cracks about my nose's size but I just say to those the simple fact is "The air is free"

    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 ...

    I took the charger selection one step further: after selection for the attributes you mentioned I then polished the inside of the stripper clip to make charging the magazine as slick as possible. I found using the middle finger as the trigger finger worked best for me.

    Keep that up and we may have to induct you into the Enfield users world of shooting. Because you took the trouble to learn how it works.
    The Enfield system works and as a battle system very well even for Sunday plinkers .
    My best is 9 shots fired 8 pigs on the ground as fast as i could work the bolt. Middle finger on the trigger. The people who trained me did it in both world wars.
    Part of the training was done on random disc targets shown at random times as well as fixed time exposures for multiple shots (as many as you could do )

    @Cinders. Thumb should be on or close to the bolt not around the grip area of the butt...
