    Ad-hoc reloading die holder

    Pulled two pieces of channel strut out of a scrap bin. The backside had round 1/4" holes, unlike the usual slotted holes. Got my stepper-drill out and reamed them to 1" and smoothed everything with a file. These were kinda crusty so I had to use a wire wheel and went to town on them. My 3" wire wheel is now a 1" wire wheel, but I got to bare metal. After the second coat of red I realized I wouldn't have enough paint to finish them both, but I did have a can of blue. Anyway, cheap, easy to fab and hardly takes up any room at all.

    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.
