    Just a quick something to think about for everyone. How about having blood tests done for antibodies before getting a jab?

    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 ...

    Not sure that would be helpful in the circumstances with so many variants on the move around the world. We ALL just have to hope that the one you get covers the new variant.

    It's really starting to pee me off.
    Came back from Townsville via the coast to drop some gear off to one of my grandaughters in Proserpine.
    Now back home 12 days and we get the message that she has tested positive, so being under 14 days we now have to be retested.

    Funny thing about Queensland, they have just secured two major sporting events due to the outbreak in Victoria.....while the south is in lockdown the cane toads are keeping pretty quiet about the outbreaks in Emerald and Proserpine.....just a half days drive from Townsville.

    It is a strange thing this positive and evading it completely. Be interesting to see the habits of us humans after this and find out what people do to contract it, if they are careful or not and assume nobody has it.

    Sad I know but we wipe everything down that gets delivered to our home even the post.
    If the virus lives for 24-48 hours as they say, it will clearly live on anything you touch.

    Tell her to keep an antibacterial gel with her at all times and to be regimental in her hand washing. That seems to be the only way!!

    If having the vaccine helps to stem the spread of the virus; it should also slow the development of different strains of the virus. With less people sick there should be less opportunity for it to mutate. Obviously added to the routines of hand sterilisation and social distance etc.
    At least that's what I believe the idea is in principal. Only time will tell if it works! But the figures in the UKicon seem to point to a reasonably successful vaccination campaign.

    Headshots. And no need to run. A comfortable walking pace and good marksmanship is all that is required.

    It's basically over in the US except for the screaming by the leftists. Everything opened up fully now. No masks if vaccinated, but non-vaccinated for the most part stopped wearing them as well. Cases are very low. Seems to have run it's course.

    It seems that this will drag out for as long as it takes for a certain percentage to actually get it, then it dies out. Australiaicon seems to be dragging it out to a never ending quarantine.
