    Talking just gotta tell somebody

    I usually hang out om the M1icon carbine forum, but this morning I have discovered something insanely fun. I installed my CMMG .22 conversion kit in my Rock River LAR-15, and loaded the mag with Aguila Colibri .22 LR subsonics. Wondering what it would do, I wandered out to the back yard. I have a 7" skilsaw blade nailed to a tree for kids BB gun practice. I was able to hit it 29/30 times at 24 yards, standing offhand using an EO Tech holosight, with about an 8" drop at that range. Took 1 shot to guess the drop. The actual group was more like 4-5". The only sound was the hammer drop and the impact. Click---ding! Burned off the whole box, LMAO! Of course had to hand cycle the action, but this is fun and good practice!

    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.

    We have a neverending post about this somewhere around here. I tend to agree with you 100% and I think they have a very valuable place in the collection. Besides...they're fun.
