    Bill, when I was done the regular army I went to Armoured Car for 5 years. I started with Loomis and was carrying a Mod 10-10 HB. I went to a small company for day work only and I had a Mod 15, because no one else wanted it. They thought it would explode if you fired +P out of it. OK says I, I'll have that one. What a nice gun.
    Regards, Jim

    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 ...

    Our department is still using S&W model 66 revolvers. They told us we were going to the Glock 22 over a year ago. But California is so broke I don't think it will ever happen.

    My favorite commercial rifle is/was a TC Model 87 "Hunter" (single-shot) with a barrel in .308Win. I bought the rifle with a view to adding extra barrels; got it in the 'magnum' configuration that would allow both 'standard' and 'magnum' caliber barrels to be used. Odd-ball kind of rifle I bought on a whim many years ago and just recently gave to my youngest son out in ID after I lost function in my left arm. At the bench the rifle was a 'deliberate' sort of thing; break action like a shotgun for those who don't know the rifle.

    A good friend of mine had one of those in .308 in the '80s. Also an XP100 fireball. Both in pistol form. What a handful for one handing. I don't recall hitting much.

    The Thompson/Center Hunters weren't made very long were they? It's been years since I've even heard of one. Saw a few when they first came out, but that's about it. Seem to remember a recall or something.
