    NZ Lithgow outing

    Just because I never need an excuse to show pictures of my Antipodean lady....

    Spent a hugely enjoyable day yesterday with a fellow Milsurper, converting live into empty with our L1A1's in the ( mostly) sunshine.

    You have to love that L1 'chime' from the flash eliminator ... Especially in stereo!

    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 ...

    You're right. From, say 1961 or so onwards, when all of the initial in-service teething troubles had been worked through, such as crap method of attaching the gas cylinder, razor sharp edges on the cocking handle slide plus a few others it was a good reliable work-horse. I just left my gas regulator fully closed, max gas and it just banged away constantly and reliably - like my first girlfriend.

    At the end of their life there were some pretty-well worn out ones floating around that were really beyond salvation


    Added later....... I thought a few more would add a 'thanks', if only to smile about the banging away reliably like my old girlfriend comment. Oh well......
