    What Fun with Those Old Trainers

    Yesterday I was RM at my shooting range, but did not feel like shooting. At least not with handguns, so I decided to take my Enfield no. 1 trainer along.
    Great decision!
    As soon as I was left alone, she gave me lots of fun and joy, even if at just 25 metres.
    The picture attached shows 10 rounds.
    No match stuff, just the very cheap but good Fiocchi Semiauto.
    I’ll restart to take her out. Next Saturday, if everything works out ok, I’ll take her to the other range and stretch her legs at 50 and maybe 100 metres.

    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 always liked the old full size small bore trainers. They shot like a dream because they were so heavy and steady. .22 would regularly shoot tiny little groups.

    Today, I tried my new Champion rest with the pea shooter.
    Same ammo, but at dusk. That was a challenge…
    But the rest? Top!

    By the way… our president at the shooting range had a stroke. Now lots of guys want me to become the Prez. Said no. I can’t handle the day by day. Get bored, restless and, adding to it, I travel too much. Let’s fight that off on the 28th.
