    Attachment 93815

    It will be interesting to see if it’s quieter than the Mk5 Sterling.

    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.

    Yes it will...I know I preferred the .45 because it had more smack downrange in that role...but I was using an M3 with suppressor.

    The first five shots in semi were pretty quiet. Not Mk5 quiet but not bad. The wipes were original and disintegrated after that. Amazing what a difference they make.

    The MAC is FAST! CRAZY FAST! In auto it’s strictly “Spray and Pray.” The trigger is horrible and the butt stock flimsy. It’s about as far away from a Sterling as you can get in quality and shootability. It’s also about as much fun as you can have with your pants on.

    I had a TV once. It sat in the corner gathering dust. So, I dumped it to make room. Never had the desire to get another one. Even when I was recovering in the hospital I didn’t watch it. I know it sounds strange. I just don’t like it.

    Yes they are...I wonder if one could use thinner wire springs and slow it down? I wonder if it would work? I know the M3 I had ran like a monster when I used springs out of a Bren or FN butt...sounded like and Ingram. Had 10 casings in the air at once. Once I used a thinner wire it slowed some...

    So a stronger spring would make it even faster?
