    Not a MG but a Austin Healey, just got it out today so the cat & Lisa could give it a clean after its winters 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 ...

    Attachment 46186Attachment 46187Attachment 46188Attachment 46189Well, in an attempt to get this thread a little more on topic, here are some pics of me and my brother with an Ishapore No1MkIII marked 1972. Pretty accurate, but I need to replace the magazine. The spring is too weak and it has cycling problems.

    Mike, you need to tell your brother (is that him in the white?) to hold the rifle like he means business. He's holding it like a fairy! Lean into it, pull it tight in and then let rip

    He doesn't have his head in correct position because he has the butt too far out on his bicep. If he pulls it into the shoulder it'll naturally align and bring the rifle up to the cheek, not the head down to the rifle.
    Regards, Jim

    Hahaha. Yes. That is him. If only it were possible to tell my brother how something should be done. He does not take advice very well.
