    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.

    One of my friends who owns a steel fabrication business watched a demonstration of a water jet cutter whilst holidaying over in the eastern states it was cutting through a 300mm thick piece of steel with .1mm accuracy not the stuff to be trifled with.

    I was in a prototype/test shop of a multinational company and they had several of those things. If you need to go straight through something they are the way to go and a joy to watch... since the only heat is from the friction of the water cutting the material, I wonder if this is a good choice for sectioning a gun for material properties testing of interior surfaces? I have a Geha I've long wanted to do some hardness testing on and this would be a good way to do it, albeit probably more expensive than machining a cross section.

    It's a really efficient cutting instrument, that's for sure. I believe the water is actually carrying sand; and thats what does the cutting.

    When I worked at the Sunoco refinery in S. Philly we cut into the sides of the oil/gas tanks for inspections and floating roof repair with this system. Garnet was the cutting medium. Very finicky to work with as the cutting medium likes to clog.
