    Those long Winter nights will simply fly by.....!

    All these posts on No4 rear sights, together with a little tidying up of my garage prior to having a Belfast sink fitted in there (to facilitate cleaning up woodwork) revealed these. As some of you know already, I am retiring soon, but I'm heartened to know I won't be short of any restoration work..........It's a two gallon bucket about one third full.

    Title with apologies to Blackadder.

    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 ...

    No No....it's two thirds empty!!!! :-)##
    Roger...You will wonder how you ever found time to go to work once you do retire..... You will wonder where the time goes. Once you are fully retired, you will find that life is like a roll of toilet tissue...the closer to the end the faster it goes!!!
    One who knows!!!!!

    That's exactly correct. I am retired for over a year and am considering a job for two days a week so I can get some rest. The ," honey do", list keeps growing. It is difficult to avoid that tendency of a former PM of Canadaicon, not to do anything today that can be put off until tomorrow.
