    I might give that a try if it gives me any trouble. So far I haven’t had a stoppage.


    As a matter of interest, I have suggested to Badger that in view of the SMG interest on the forum, where SMG matters seem to be scattered around willy-nilly, that there be a dedicated SMG section. The volume of stuff will never set the world on fire but maybe there'll be sufficient to keep an SMG thread ticking over - especially with the US contingent appetite for Sht barrel rifle variations
    Great idea, Peter. An SMG forum would be very nice.

    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).
