Movie with No4 T/ Commonwealth small arms.

**JerryEAL** · 10-30-2016 11:54 AM

I watched a decent movie called the Siege of Jadotvillee on Netflix last night. The company sniper/marksman utilized a No4 T throughout the movie. Interesting premise. Based on a true story as the credits read. Tonnes of .303 flying down range! FYI

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 agree 100%. Excellent movie and very well presented. I double-checked the story behind it and the facts don't seem too far off.

The No. 4T did it's work and did it well. No over-the-top shooting or wild, unbelievable shooting around corners or glancing projectiles off surfaces to hit a target. Just hard work, very obviously dangerous in the extreme and so far from the usual movie nonsense as to make one believe it was a close portrayal of reality.

See it if you can.

Siege of Jadotville - Wikipedia

At one stage in the conflict, a mission to bring in water by air was successful, but due to the use of contaminated containers (previously used to store petrol), the water was largely undrinkable.

What would the WWI vets say to that!?
