    My real hobby horse Muffer was those military training staff who used to give us such a hard time at Enoggera and Canungra - especially on the ranges! They should understand that us REME/RAEME types aren't used to all that running about

    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 ...

    Life was a bit like that, that's why we sought the easy life and vehicles.(even if we had to fix the bloody things first)

    Peter, I have two rifles of interest. The process/techniques and advice I'm interested in will be applied eventually to a real No 1 Mk 5. I am using the "wannabe" No 4 cut job as a test bed. If I can turn this piece around, then the real job will be much easier. Also, if I mess anything up on the look-alike, then I certainly won't be too upset about it. So not quite a misunderstanding.
    Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...
