    Yes but we've discussed this very thing two dozen time I'll bet, and still it goes on... We just tell each other the same thing endlessly.

    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 ...

    I figure anyone who really cares will search, find the 20 times it's been talked about, and read. New context always gives new perspective.

    That's pretty normal everywhere and not limited to milsurps. For example, I used to have the same conversation a few times a year with my late grandmother who passed away this year at 92...It would always start with "Where are you working at now dear"...my response...then she'd always say..."But honey, don't you want to work for a living?", because anything less than manual labor just wasn't work in her mind, and she couldn't fathom the misery of not being "gainfully employed" on a farm. We would then always talk about farming when she was a kid and something new and interesting would come of it.

    I guess my point is I just like talking to you all, especially now with lockdowns and turmoil, and it really doesn't matter how it starts or ends, or whether it's about tape for the 20th time or something new - it will be fun regardless.

    A person, OP, asks a question to solve a supposed problem.

    He is politely given a number of promising, but, different 'solutions'.

    If the OP responds by saying "thanks", tells what he tried and how it worked, or even says: "he decided not to proceed", all is well and good. He held up his end of the Social Contract.

    If he never responds, he is rude. Some of us feel ill used and 'irritated'.

    Others will not see a testimonial, validating a really good approach.
    Nothing is learned about what was successful.
    (We may gain insights, wanted or unwanted, into the personalities and character, of ourselves and others).

    There is a lot of verbiage.

    It will continue to grow, because a lot of forum members will continue to answer the original question, not realizing that the OP is ... long gone ... had to fold his laundry ... or was just 'dicking' with us all along.

    I'm done with the subject.

    As far as I am aware when one logs on to the Milserps Forum, the forum doesn't suddenly have remote control over all users brains and body functions, forcing the forum member to contribute to threads against the user's will.

    If forum members don't approve, can't be bothered or don't wish to contribute to a certain thread, then the answer is simple, just ignore the thread.

    There is one or two active threads on this forum that I really can't be "bothered with". I just ignore the thread/s; I am not constantly criticising people who do wish to contribute to the thread/s by making silly comments.
