An important piece of advice.

Dear Forummers
Sorry to strike a sombre note but here goes. I have had to return prematurely from SA to UK icon

today. I am coming out of retirement and returning to work. I used [till 2019] to work in a very relevant field. I start on the covid unit at my local hospital on Monday. The situation is poor and worsening rapidly.
Please: if any of you are over 70, or younger have underlying BP or other illness; and if there are cases anywhere in your country, I advise you to self isolate immediately and take this very seriously indeed. It's all about prevention at this stage. Try to delay getting your dose of this until treatment has come down the line, which it rapidly is.
Weeks of delay may make all the difference to you and your loved ones.
I can tell you: "this is not a drill".
Rob

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.

Thank you - stay safe and don't take any more risks than are absolutely necessary.

Thanks Rob. I'm still waiting to see if I get a letter, being more of a generalist. I've also been out of it a long time now, so I may be more of a liability than a help! Delighted to know that your expertise has found a use though, as indeed it should. Just be sure to look after yourself!

Good luck Rob, & stay safe. I think we will all owe our fantastic NHS staff a few beers when this is finally all over whenever that may be.

If groups are limited to 5 does that mean one less at supper at A.B's next time??
Thanks for the heads up.
cheers,
Warren

Good news from all I've been seeing at the "sharp end":
I consider this is manageable.
Very much so, in fact.
I also think it'll be over sooner than predicted.
Keep obeying instructions, enjoy the hibernation - and it'll be past soon enough.
