    I'd respectfully suggest that your second and third paragraphs be confined to a PM sent to the man himself.

    And no offence intended of course.

    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 ...

    Umm? Has he been released? Does he have computer access? I really don't know Peter's current circumstances.

    I would let things lie low and allow PL time to recover from what must have been an exceptionally difficult and trying time for himself and family, he may or may not come back to us here I hope he will but for now just let things idle along for him pretty sure he will have other things occupying his time.

    He will be back, given a bit of time. The long and expensive appeals process has started (against a couple of the counts) and the first appearance with savvy Barrister, thumping the table with her boxing gloves on has been a stunning success. This relates to the TRUE values against the pure horse-manure given by the military police to the press who were excluded from all the courts. The Military freely admitted that of the 4 items, 3 were valued at NIL/long obsolete. While the 4th an also obsolete Cadet straight-pull L98 had a nominal 'spare parts only' valuation. Set by the Judge, on balance, as being £1001!

    Welcome back. Having not been around here too long, I've valued the information you've put here in this forum. I have noticed the varied threads "where is PL?...How is he doing?" pop up from time to time since I joined and, void of context, I just figured maybe you got the COVID or were otherwise under the weather.
    Now that it's on my radar, I notice that facts certainly don't come out in the press - even the bbc article seems purposefully misleading.
    I'm not trying to solicit any detailed discussion of it here. Since this is a book publishing thread...put me on the pre-order list for a "PL Tells All" book when it's all over, or a "How to navigate the system...". If it's as terse as your stock fitting articles, I'll smile with every page. I'm curious enough to want to know the real story, and patient enough to wait and ignore the press' clearly twisted account of it.
    Good luck to you!
