    anybody remember doin' this?

    if so, you're probably at least 60. today's troopies aren't allowed to have this much fun. of course, if you don't know what they are burning, you probably don't want to know.

    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 ...

    Had to do that in 1987-88. If I recall the mix 5 parts gas /1part diesel, could be wrong. SKIP

    Many a time at Chu Lai by the Sea. Used straight diesel fuel, had to stand right next to it and stir it at times because the other guys didn't take the time to do it right. Finally raised enough hell with my MSgt., and he formed a quick class and made guys practice on doing it right. Ah, the good old days. NOT!

    Dont be so quick GOO, Us modern "troopies" still use the tried and true method. Only thing is we dont have ready access to Mogas, so there is more stirring.

    I still have my membership card to the Chu Lai Beach & Breakfast Club. I don't remember adding anything to the JP-4. Just pour and stir.

    I was burning 20 4x4' sheets of wet rotten plywood off our range this weekend. The 5 gallons of diesel got it hot enough to get going. The black smoke and smell did take me back.

    Goo, do you remember the plywood e-club (slop chute) on the sand with the generator out back to fire up?
