    Unhappy Politics

    Steveo not wishing to challenge you but please tell us how we can protect our interest in firearms if we can not keep a breast of international happenings. Divided we fall united we may survive. Knowledge is power forwarned is forarmed. The line is thin the wind is strong etc etc

    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 ...

    Exclamation

    Hi Bindi2 ...

    I think this same question has been addressed many times in the past four years and my answer has always been the same, however, I'll repeat it here again for folks that may be new, or have missed it.

    When I was doing my officer training back on the 60's, we were told there were three things that shouldn't be discussed while drinking in the officer's mess. They were women, religion and politics ..

    The reason was simple. Those discussions always lead to bitter disagreements and acrimony, even amongst friends. To validate this, all you have to do is see the vitriol spewed at and about people on Internet forums, that have a political or religious aspect to them. We even saw it here for a period of time when we temporarily provided a home for the broken Joustericon forums.

    We're supposed to be sharing our forums to interact with a lot of like minded folks, who share a common love of old milsurps and the terrific collecting hobby surrounding them. Most of our 12,000+ registered members want to come here talk about Enfields, Mausers, M1icon Carbines, 1903 Springfields, or whatever genre of collectible firearm they love to converse about.

    We really don't want to see a lot of good "electronic" friends who may differ in political or religious views, destroy an otherwise enjoyable experience talking about old guns, by deliberately creating a posting environment which by its nature promotes divisiveness.

    There's a huge number of political discourse sites (and forums) on the Internet already (some on gun sites), catering to both left and right wing viewpoints. If anyone really needs a "fix" of watching perfectly sane and normal people deteriorate into name calling and verbal assaults simply over their political views, we'd recommend they join one of those sites and have at it.

    Our site isn't the place for this kind of behaviour, or the content that causes it, plus we have no desire to have to install a "Romper Room" such as exists on the new Jouster Forums as a time-out area for mature adults, who when otherwise discussing just gun related material wouldn't even need it.

    Our registration agreement that everyone clicked "yes" on to register here is quite clear ....
