    After a While...Argie at the Range

    After a couple months, I went back to the range with rifles.
    Shot 15 rounds with my SMELLY, then went to the Argentinian Mauser.
    First shot was an incredible bullseye.
    On the second target, I could put 4 of the first 5 rounds very close, less than 35 mm diameter, the last one was a bullseye.
    Tough day for shooting, since at that time the sun moves through leaves and branches and I had the target always with changing light.
    But still fair shooting in my humble opinion.
    I was surprised by the No. 1 shooting to the right and the Argie, initially, to the left, but I guess it was the light. They are both well zeroed.
    I had two rounds hard to load in the SMLE and they both landed low.
    The cases were then showing a fracture at the usual height, approximately 1” above the rim.

    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.
