    On the question of original parts etc etc, you ought to go to a MJini Cooper or MGB festival! All these lying toe-rags spouting about their car originality and all that originality guff. I mean.......... how can anyone say with a straight face that their 1969 LUCAS electrics are original? They wouldn't last until 1979 let alone 2009. They salvage newer guts, clean it up, modify it and stuff it back into the old casing - JUST like I did with the old alternator - yep, by LUCAS LUCAS = Loads of Unconnected Crap And Solder. Oh well..........., back to sorting out the defective Lucas petrol pump

    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 ...

    I am glad to see that - slowly! - more and more people are coming round to the idea that the mania for "restoring it to its correct/original configuration" is, in fact, falsification of an historical artefact that soon turns to fraud when said artefacts are sold on and described as all-original.
