    M-60 A-1 Tank is that correct? sorta reminds me of the Lee Grant with the extra turret though the Lee ended up with 2 turrets and that 75mm on a sponson mount, I know the bigger of the 2 turrets had the 37mm but the top one did that have a 30 Browning or was it a BESA thanks for any info. Very nice weapon H.O.H if only we were allowed things like that.

    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.

    I believe that's correct. We CAN own those as far as I know. I know here in Canadaicon a howitzer has no paperwork because ammo is deemed unavailable. That from the registrar of Calgary city Police...and a man in Calgary has a 105mm sitting in his front yard down there...there are military collectors with tanks. And YOU Cinders have the brass. I'd be turning projectiles for you. I'd hand load the primer tubes and we'd probably use Pyrodex for filler...it could be done.

    I think in a Dusty Creek vid a M-10 rolls up and proceeds to knock things flat with the muzzle break every time it cuts loose how do you get a licence for one of them!!!!

    Shot her yesterday (rifle not the tank sorry) and function was ok 1 FTE (stove pipe) & 1 FTE. I think a bit of break in is needed. I did make on discovery. I pitty those poor lefties who carried these weapons into combat. Tosses that hot brass directly into your right cheek.

    What loads are you using?? Sounds like my IMR4198 reloads! Hahaha. Check your gas rings. Make sure there are 3, and that they don't have the breaks in the ring lined up with each other. Also check and make sure the gas key is tight on the Bolt Carrier.

    A fail to extract can be the extractor and you can't tell...until you change it. The fail to eject too...sometimes. Also as stated...your loads should be what the book demands for the military loads. Short changing these doesn't always work...
