    Guard cat!

    My Tomcat Lucky showed up on the farm July 4th 3 years ago. I've never owned a cat but Lucky was about 5 weeks old and near death. The vet said it would live and we found out some weeks later he has a boy. He is a good friend and brings mice and moles up to the back door every day. Yesterday, I told him I had a very expensive T marked Winchester and it was my favorite carbine and he should guard it when not catching mice. Here's the proof.....smart cat. Regards, Rick.

    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.

    A common misapprehension. You never own a cat. The cat may, of course, accept you!

    I'm on my second cat I've had for about a year. My first died last year after 16 years of being a great companion. He loved guns too. Loved nothing better than to scratch his head on the bayonet lug of one of my AR-15s I had propped against a wall!

    Cats are so cool, mine will play fetch like a dog when he feels like it. The best thing about a cat is its independence, ask it to get your slippers and it looks at you with the "get them yourself you idiot" attitude.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Grown men discussing their cats on a gun forum....maybe there's hope for the world yet!
    Yep, I'm owned by one too. Here he manages to get into a picture I'm trying to take of some work I did on a Taurus.
