    Thank you: Peter Laidler, Roger Payne, Thomas Smith

    Had an enjoyable practice shoot at the Range yesterday with my rebuilt No4(T).

    It made me stop and think that my pleasure was a result of the work of three forum members who generously share their knowledge and time, often without receiving due thanks.

    Thank you to Peter Laidlericon for spending countless hours rebuilding my Telescopic sight. Thank you for charging me for what you considered to be fair time rather than time taken. Thank you for giving this scope another 60 years of service.

    Thank you to Roger Payneicon for researching, manufacturing and supplying me one of your superb brackets. It holds a true zero.

    Thank you to Thomas Smith (tbonesmithicon) for replacing my rusted out barrel and for ensuring that the bedding of my rifle is spot on. The rifle shoots with 1/2" MOA accuracy - unfortunately I often don't.

    Whilst it is several years since Peter, Roger and Tom individually helped me, yesterday I again enjoyed the fruits of their labours. So thank you Gentlemen.

    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).

    Now that warmed the cockles of my old socks.....................great to see people do appreciate good sound advice from the best site, and the best people anywhere in the Globe, who often work for nowt in partaking with that advice, and often from operational experience and knowledge about a lot of Milsurps!.........Apologies that started to sound like a Churchillian speech, all I missed out was the beaches bit ha ha!!

    I couldn't have put it better Gil, well said. Milsurps goes from strength to strength, with people freely sharing a huge knowledge base of talent, while a lot of the other firearm forums seem to be sadly declining into a free for for all group trolling session...
