    A lot of Long Lee's here...

    Just downloaded and watched "Breaker Morant." It is a great film and the producers used the correct fifles for the period.

    For those who do not know the story,
    During the Boer War, three Australianicon lieutenants are on trial for shooting Boer prisoners. Though they acted under orders, they are being used as scapegoats by the General Staff, who hopes to distance themselves from the irregular practices of the war. The trial does not progress as smoothly as expected by the General Staff, as the defence puts up a strong fight in the courtroom
    A very good movie and well worth the time to watch it. i never fliped through any scenes!!

    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    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.

    I saw Breaker Morant when it came out, and thought it was excellent. I will be watching it again in the next few weeks. Very good acting, and they got the equipment right - who could ask for more?
