Caution: These videos are presented purely for entertainment value only. MILSURPS.COM in no way endorses anyone trying this "bump firing" technique themselves. If you don't know what you're doing and mishandle the firearm, the results could be highly dangerous to you, or the people standing around you. It's also possible that doing this could cause rounds to leave the range over the backstop, thereby endangering people outside your club and possibly causing your club to be shut down if it's reported.

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.

I watched the video a few times, but, still can't figure out how he did that. Please enlighten me. Thanks

Tom, you put your thump through the trigger guard and then hokk it to a belt loop or pocket so that the back of your thumb is in contact with the trigger. You then pull forward on the weapon with the other hand and that will put tension on the trigger thumb and pull the trigger. The rifle will shoot. The recoil from the rifle will reset the trigger and sear until your pulling forward on the rifle pulls the trigger again and recoil will reset the trigger and sear again and again and again. It will dump eight rounds like now!

Bump fireng is very danjerous as you can't keep a good backstop or target in your sites.

' 'Stockdoc' Rborecky' crap already. Just leave it alone and get on with the forum.

This is supposed to be a community of ADULTS discussing Garands with the odd O/T thread.
