    Saturday Arvo chores

    Helped my wife out as she is not to well with the flu and we have a competition shoot tomorrow my son will also be using her rifle so double the ammo required. I do not mind as I am to receive a present from her ordered it on Friday a new electronic annealing machine & pilots for all our calibers we shoot so I am a bit spoiled.

    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 ...

    Would that be a Kase AnnealR, Cinders?

    Envious of your workspace, much better equipped and laid out than mine. Trust you're well rugged up out there at this time of year!
    Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...

    Hi Peter no that new one the AMP Annealing machine that BRT shooting supplies in QLD are selling at the moment watched a fair bit on various methods and tried some myself but this machine appears to be bang on as they have done exhaustive testing on a lot of calibers & case brands to get it perfect. It is something I have been waiting for that gets it bang on repeatedly and no gas required as I have been putting up with losing the odd case and neck tension that is a bit awry at times, I have tried neck turning but heck that just adds to the expense and time factor with regards to turning them as you then need bushing dies.

    Once I have had it for a while I will inform you fellows here on my opinion believe me I need this unit as with 5 303's running, 3 Effies running, 1 full bore and a tactical all bolt guns different calibers the amount of brass I have to play with gets boggling at times.
    And yep Peter it was a bit fresh out there today we had a cold front go through think it was about 9 degrees at lunch time also I built the benches for my shed still have more to do but its about 4.5 meters to the left and 4.5 meters to the Rt think I used 4" x 1 " pine boards tek screwed (countersunk) onto a steel frame I salved from a mine move and modified to suit my needs cut it in half and put a 90 degree in there its dyna-bolted down so it does not move very handy indeed.

    Jim - yep the 2 ltr ones are the go for sure they line the whole of the bench to the left as I have 2 for each rifle except the 303's the 4 get a common Dirty/clean tubs all in but the T gets its very own containers as for the other 303's I fls each time so does not matter which weapon fires it they sure are handy also when your pulling a small aero engine down to hold the needle and piston etc plus we get to eat the ice cream.

    I like the Persian rug in the workspace but probably wouldn't be a good idea in mine because I use welding equipment in my workspace/shed.

    I got a fire ext and fire blanket within 3 strides by the side door, the rugs save the shells if you happen to drop one as I have found they always hit tip first or neck first bit like toast and margarine.
