    Red face May be OT

    Seems to me things have slowed down a bit on the M1icon Carbine forum. Used to be as I checked in once or twice a month to see what‘s new there would be ten or fifteen unread messages, only two three now. As for me, I don’t post anything since being scolded by a couple of folks for commenting on one of the favorite son’s threads. By the way what has happened to Charlie?

    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 suspect the summer vacation time, getting kids back in school, etc have slowed posts down some. Hoping it picks back up too.

    Political comments, or personal attacks on a member are highly frowned upon, but questions and constructive comments to any thread are not an issue. I encourage you to keep posting. Don't stop posting over a disagreement.

    I know Charlie owns a company that has it's busy times. Good weather months very busy. Maybe he just doesn't have the time right now.

    The CMP site has very little activity as well

    I think that times are tough, ammunition is in short supply and the semi auto carbine is under political attack by the two largest states. Things are just strange to say the least. That said I owe the CC two data sheets which I should take care of.

    Jim: Email me I have some info on your new hometown that you may find encouraging. Just talked to my brother about your move.

    Sounds like a post I wrote last year. Things are very slow here. Hardly ever anything interesting. This forum has been through several changes in ownership and form, so it seems to have lost the energy it originally had when it was Culvericon's. Maybe some of that energy came from controversy, and we had that for sure back in the day. And it is true that all forums develop 'sacred cows' that are 'untouchable'. When they get touched anyway, the usual result is they pick up their marbles and go home. I hope Charlie is not that type - he's probably just busy.

    Culvericon slow too and half the posts are BS. Not much gun talk there but still fun to read rantin bout lnks to nutty wacko stuff with wannabees and some posers pounding there chests and pics of there medals and uniforms, some thinking they are the smartest guy in the world.

    In 80s and still young. Grandkids taught me computer stuff and usually help me but sorry for my typing. Theyre not here right now so I typed this one finger. Fought two wars just a grunt. Took bullet in hip and mortar chunks in the a** and a chest full of medals to but I dont go there like some looking for pats on back and sound important. Keep it to myself and family.
