    WW1 british musketry.

    i'm sure plenty of you have already seen these videos, but if you haven't they are well worth a watch.

    I think this series, once complete, will become required viewing for anyone interested in SMLE's and/or WW1. For me at least, it helps tie in exactly how british soldiers were trained to use the SMLE in WW1 giving you some insight into their lives.






    I recommend checking out his other videos too, I have learned multiple things from every one I have watched.

    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 ...

    I've watched his Snider videos and they energized me to get my Sniders out and get them cleaned up and ready to shoot. I formed my own brass, cast my own projectiles and I am ready to take them to the range. I imagine those videos take quite a bit of time to put together. My hats off to him for taking the time and energy to make, edit and post these on youtube.

    I spent a portion of the past weekend with Rob at the BMF Alberta shoot. Great fun. He indicated he has four projects in the queue so there will be more great videos to come.
