    He just thinks the other factories carried on production at the same ratio as to Lithgowicon as during WW1, there is nothing wrong with Pongos comment, i would call it spot on, the Turkeyicon is just jumping on Pongos comment as it does not completely agree with his comment, same Bat Gauno, same Bat channel!

    I may be being a little rough on him, you have to keep in mind he only got his licence back in 2007 it took me a few years to start putting 2 & 2 together up coming up with 9 which was a lot better than 47 , i think i now have it down to 5.2 .

    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 ...

    After I clean up my screen and keyboard, can I borrow that quote you from your post here, 5th.... seems so appropriate to the FES in general...

    same Bat Gauno, same Bat channel!

    I could never get the meaning of the term "bat s**t crazy" before, but every morning this week I've got out to my car only to find that the visiting fruit bats have used it as a bombing range over night - orange guano everywhere so I'm beginning to understand...

    The FES does seem to be getting less traffic these days.

    I have seen the forum down to as little as 3 active posts over 7 days (you can set it to show just the last 7 days) at the moment there are 14 active posts, 11 of these are from Saturday till Monday, so a busy weekend.

    I hate being not-in-the-know, so will one of you guys PLEASE explain this whole FES thing? I'm sure you're not referring to real Flat Earthers, so you must mean some other forum, I deduce. So how about a clue, unless it's some peculiar Aussie thing, and even then there must be other Yanks as ignorant as I am. Speaking of peculiar Aussie things, you might want to re-read your last two lines??

    There was a Aussie who did a song called "Two little boys" he later did a add for house paint branded Britishicon paints, the add finished with him drumming on the lid with the line "trust british paints....sure can!", just a bit of a dig at the Aussies for their sheep jokes which they always fire off in a easterly direction.

    The FES is a forum with an Aussie mod whose knowledge of Lithgows can be printed on the pointy end of a pin. He bans any one who corrects him or dares to show any knowledge that will take the spotlight of him as the GURU. He knows more than serving armourers and retired armoureres, enough said.

    Was wondering if the "Two little boys" bit was a double dig owing to the singer's current legal issues...
