    I get to be first!

    Ha, I beat you all here! Glad to see some major improvements over the old site Dick, no more going to photobucket to get pics chief among them. Well, it appears we ended the old with my scoped Kragicon, let's start the new one with the same. I hope we all have as much fun here as we did on the old site!

    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.

    Just checking in and wandering around at the moment. May even try and touch some of the "button's". If you hear a "boom", I didn't do it!

    Well, it seems my front mounting point has some problems. I got a chance to shoot some today. After bore sighting, the first shot was 4 inches high, 1.5" left. I kept moving the reticle, but the shots kept hitting in same area. Either my groups were more patterns or something is flexing and not returning to the same preshot position. I know the reticle was moving as the old Alaskan doesn't have a perma center reticle and I could see it had moved. After 9 shots, always moving the reticle down and left between each shot, the last one hit touching the first one! There's a fellow on ebay selling a scout scope mount that replaces the rear sight, I might go with that and use a LER scope. Guy's name is Peter, and he rebuilds sporterized Krags. I had to share with him some of Dick Hosmericon's knowledge of Kragicon sight screw threads. With his mount, one is expected to rethread the holes. A metric 4x1.0 is about the right thread, but the standard now is M4x.07 which is too fine. They used to make the M4X1.0, I have an old Japaneseicon made .22 scope mount with screws that fit the Krag sight screw holes perfectly.
