    My collecting days are over

    Unfortunately my collecting days are over. It's no fun anymore. I live in New York where our Governor decided that there will be no more "internet" purchases of ammo shipped to New York residents. My local gun shops do not carry my ammo. If I can't order ammo on line, then all I have are milsurps in a safe. I don't want wall hangers. I want to shoot. No ammo, no shooting, no interest, no fun. The government doesn't need to take our firearms. Just our ammo. I'm done.

    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 ...

    Exclamation

    That's unfortunate ...

    I feel your pain, but I ask all of our members not to turn this thread into a political tirade, since all we'd be doing is preaching to the choir anyway ...

    Thanks in advance ..

    Regards,
    Doug

    Don't give up that easily. There's always a way around politicians. Maybe you have to stock up out of town and bring it back. Maybe you have to re-load for yourself. That's what I did and during this last shortage and famine, I didn't feel the bite at all...not one bit...there's no .22 on our Walmart shelves and hasn't been for months, but I have thousands...there's always a way you can beat this.

    Re-loading is the male equivalent of knitting. I do it in a kind of bovine trance. Best done when everything else around you is getting hectic. I usually end up with more ammo than I need.

    The government doesn't need to take our guns. Just our ammo. That's exactly what Biden said when all the gun ban proposals got shot down..................''let them keep their guns we'll do any with the ammo, without ammo they are nothing more than fancy clubs''.
    Like others said DON'T give up, that's just what the anti-gunners want. There's many a slip betwixt a cup and a lip, there's a lot of fun and satisfaction to be had from whipping people at their own game.

    Good ole NY. Poster child for failure of government in the northeast. Bail and stop paying their high taxes. There are many friendly states out there to choose from including SC. Our Governor Nikki Haley got a new carry pistol for Christmas and posted a pic for all to see. There's also a big industrial park near Myrtle Beach that's filling up with north eastern firearm and accessory manufacturing companies who're bailing from the unfriendly northern states.
