    Inglourious Basterds

    This one looks promising but I'm not a fan of Quentin Tarentino,mainly because he often injects to much "modern" crap into his movies,like ghetto slang that was'nt used during the period,hi volume no reload needed weapons,those awesome sparking bullets etc. Hopefully this one won't be to "Hollywoody".
    What do you all think? Seen the previews at the cinema several times now,looks good so far.

    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.

    Should be interesting. I've been looking forward to it since I first read about it several months ago. I saw a poster for it up at the theater when I went to see Public Enemies last week.

    Watch the trailer again and see the guy running down the hall firing a belt fed weapon while it is held under his right arm and he holds the belt with his left hand. How do you do that??

    FWIW,

    He's using a sling to add a bit of legitimacy. I also noticed the Lt. is wearing 1st SSF insignia on his shoulder.

    Don't forget the Marine that made a shoulder fired .50 cal he put together from a Wildcat .50, on Guadicanal. It turned the tide in more than one battle, from the stories I've read.

    The weapon you are referring to was a .30 cal air cooled belt feed with a Garandicon stock and cut down barrel nick-named the (stinger). It was made by Tony Stein. He was killed by a sniper on Iwo March 1 1945. He also was a Medal of Honor winner for engagements where he used the weapon.There is a good article in American Rifleman on him and the weapon. I'm going to build a clone of this weapon.
