The mind boggles as to how this accident could have occurred?

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.

Guess he will always be the “butt” of jokes with his reenactor buddies!
“Fire in the hole”!

He had the thing in the wrong tube!

Lordy me! they would have been in stitches in the OR after all had settled down & removed it, I guess the shell went from Olive Drab paint scheme to a Mission Brown one!

Weapon of *** destruction… I missed that at first

**ssgross** · 12-11-2021 09:32 AM

It was a total dis-***-ter, doctor. A real cat-***-strophe. I was in the rear with the gear, and now I have some major disbumfort. I would have come right away, but the Mrs. wasn't cheeky about me driving myself in this condition and didn't want to be party pooper.
