    Interesting L42A1 Pictures - Gordon Highlanders

    After Reading Flickr's content policy regarding linking to images and our instructions on how to post images, I believe the following is acceptable. If not please let me know.

    Some intersting pictures of L42s in the field, 1970s and 80s with the Gordon Highlanders, posted by Ronnie Bell.

    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 ...

    That was a bit unkind Simon. In fact, I'd say that it was downright.......... Oh never mind. Forums are about comment and discussion.

    Hmmm. It seems very clear to me Peter that you are quite happy to pass comment on folks opinions or questions with very thinly veiled or barbed remarks and how in your "limited experience" nobody else in the world appears to have any comprehension of the finer workings of the Enfield Rifleicon system other than you. Alas it also seems clear that you are also unable to comprehend comedic sarcasm which I would have thought someone with a service background would be immune too.

    Perhaps I'm out of line but when I was being apprenticed if I couldn't take the joke I would have been plainly and simply told to "get over myself" and "grow a set"

    But if you don't agree feel free to berate me!

    It is ok Simon being a wild colonial i got it. Peter must have got a knock back (not quite the young bull any more like most of us ) so was feeling a little fragile.
    So some of you closer old bulls take him for a beer and a talk.
