    Good looking restore. I'm guessing it works perfectly now? They sure are a handful aren't they?

    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 ...

    Nice work!

    Have you managed to "proof-test" it yet?

    Seeing that beast brought back memories of a "famous" lecture by our Assault Pioneer sergeant on the "Correct use of the chainsaw in close-quarter combat", delivered with a straight face to his young and impressionable audience. Utterly Pythonesque!

    Just out of curiosity, especially given its size, is the bar oiler manual or "automatic?

    Really wicked thought, how would it go with a "Kardoen" tuned exhaust as seen on smaller "racing" chainsaws?

    That should be "Kaarden", the clever East Germanicon chap who rather spectacularly refined the tuned 2-stroke exhaust system in the mid '50s.

    The factory team rider, Ernst Degener, decided that he could do better elsewhere and "diverted" from the track one day and somehow ended up learning Japaneseicon from Mr. Suzuki and friends.

    There is a bit about this episode in Robbie Coltrane's excellent "rev-head" series, "Coltranes, Planes and Automobiles".

    People put Kaaden pipes on dinky little model aircraft engines as well as chainsaws these days.
