    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 ...

    Seems they’re expanding the range of products.
    Interesting.

    New Toy - Works Well!

    Since I like shooting a lot, and I don't want to always be limited by Covid, by holidays, by other impedimenta, I decided to give a dry-fire system a try.
    Yesterday I received "the bullet" and set up a short range at home, 7 metres.
    Downloaded the app on my iPad and put a standard 8 inch target, in this case all white, on the wall.
    Chambered the round and started shooting at it single action with my Bernardelli P-One. Being that a personal defence pistol, POA and POI coincide perfectly.
    I must say that the system works well.
    I got all the shots, showed them exactly in the right spot also in the iPad and got me happy enough to be really willing to start using it regularly.
    This week I'll be a tad busy, but maybe on Sunday I will be able to set up my range in the garden, where I can shoot at 15 metres without being seen by nobody, and start training.
    Tonight and Saturday morning I'll be RO on the range, so I'm not giving up the real shooting. I just wanted some simple way to keep the skills even in case Dystopia should go on still...

    Looks like all is in stock...not surprising with primers so hard to find. Do was bullets shoot well in, say, a 1903 Springfield? I'd love to work with my kids on positional shooting with these.

    This is how the target looks like.
    I’m really enjoying it at the moment.
