    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.

    Time for another gunshop up date. Since my last posting we have not been able purchase as "regular" .223/5.56mm ammunition. Are last shipment we only received one case of hunting .223 Remington at nearly $18.00 a box. No shooting up stuff. Those who are really desperate are buying them. Yesterday Santa Claus had finally came with stuff I have not seen here at all ever, two IWI Tavor 7.62mm rifles, more 12 gauge Churchill shotguns. Several non-compliant S&W M&P1522 rifles which we have not seen in four months. At 50 S&W 9mm pistols, SVD9s, M&P Shield EZs to name a few. Other 9mm include SCCY compacts, Girshan 9mm pistols and Ruger Security 9s. They will probably be all gone by the weekend. I am starting to get a new flood of new gun buyers after the violent protest in Lancaster, PA. Rumor has it that the US has about 12 million new gun owners so far since March and we still have several months to the election. The politicians are in for a rude awakening if they think the American public is going to give up their rights.

    Update on the Lancaster riots. Bail was set for those arrested for the rioting on Sunday. 12 total were arrested 9 received $1 million bail amounts. One other was $100,000, the other two are unclear, one was a minor. None of those assigned bail managed to post it so all are still in jail. This is the difference between a conservative area and a liberal area which simply sets them loose like in Portland and Seattle.

    In Seattle at the end of May more than twenty-seven people were arrested for criminal acts related to the riots. At the end of July more than forty-seven and mid August eighteen more for similar crimes. Some were able to make bail, a few were released for lack of evidence but everyone charged was issued a court date and whether they were released on bail or must sit in jail they will face the courts. Regardless of my States political leanings, the law is the law and is strenuously enforced and any assertions otherwise are wrong and just plain silly. Tom

    Wish that was true for Portland. I didn't know Seattle was any different. It'll be interesting to see how many of them are prosecuted. - Bob

    Update from Yesterday-- We received the guns in the morning open at 12:00 noon it was like a mad house. Lots of folks buying mainly by word of mouth that we had 9mm pistols. Folks that 5 months ago turned up their nose at a SCCY are buying them. All of my 9mm S&W M&P9 Shield EZ are all ready gone. I had 6 of those pistols. Getting lots of folks who are researching the guns before buying. I told them good to research but they will be gone by the time you come back. With guns in and ammo coming in later today it will be like a zoo at work. I am not looking forward to work today. Yesterday I purchase a nice bottle of Jefferson bourbon for tonight after work. LOL and cheers later.

    Question: If buying a firearm for the first time in the USAicon; what training or safety instructions go with it? Is there any requirement to know how to operate it safely?
    I ask because in Franceicon, if you want a pistol or revolver; you need gun club membership for at least 6 months and pass a written safety exam; before requesting a licence to purchase. Which will need clearing by the local police force before you can buy.
    So realistically you'll be shooting club guns for a year before you've got your own.
