    Australia Day

    The Australiaicon Day weekend normally see's me on the Range firing a few shots out of the rifles built in that year.

    For their 100th Birthday I had only two this year, a 1919 Lithgow and a Thai Tiger, which suited me down to the ground, as it was 42 degrees C and just not a nice day.


    Shot the Lithgow first, a sighter to get on the plate at 100m on a type C target, low holding balance, so aimed into the centre for a five shot group, slightly to right of centre.


    Same for the TT, it printed a lot lower, just under the aiming mark.

    So that's another birthday down the tube.....until next year.

    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.
