    Did you have to share those 2 plugs when charging your iPhones or did you get a 16 gang extension?

    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-bloody-phones.......... We all had to WRITE a letter home once a week. I mean...., how do you tell your parents that there's not much to write because you've been so busy and therefore so knackered that you don't remember anything. The GOOD thing was that as we were all technically still at 'school' we had long school holidays........

    The loops were for Ballasite Blank Cartridges. Used on SMLE Rifles with the Cup discharger for No:36 Grenades.
    These Blanks were painted BLACK for 3/4 of their length externally.

    If you find any of these 'Blanks' NEVER, EVER be tempted to fire them in a Rifle/ LMG fitted with a Blank Firing attachment.
    They WILL damage the Barrel/ Weapon & YOU!!!!! The pressure generated from these cartridges is absolutely enormous!!!

    I can attest to that as when I was 17 and just a recruit, I fired one in an FN with a BFA fitted. The rifle held together but broke open, broke the ejector and was done for the moment. It was so loud that all around me stopped and looked to see what had happened...
