    That suggestion as we discussed previously is utter horsesh*t. You must have been in a very protected upbringing. Many troops owned their own firearms or at least family firearms. Don't know where you get such far fetched ideas except from having no actual knowledge.

    Besides that we were discussing his chamber condition.

    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 ...

    ...well I admit I only ever handled a Red Ryder before being issued an M16icon at boot camp. Did me a lot of good not having so many unbreakable bad "country" habits...like flapping a chicken wing in the offhand position. Plenty of recruits with lots of "prior shooting experience" came away with bruised arms from being smacked down repeatedly during dry fire training.

    The real lesson in all this....never insert chisel into chamber, and certainly never hit a chisel-in-chamber with a hammer. NEVER.

    Next time I fire any one of my rifles I'll take a pic of 2 cases and the end of the case mouths I'll then anneal one you will notice as I did that the resultant heat from firing makes the brass look a whitish colour which I take to be hardened you'll see as I have.
    The annealed one will display the deeper brass colour after being in the AMP machine.
    It has definitely stopped neck cracking as the brass is not work hardened by the dies or firing I usually anneal after sizing its bad enough to lose a case through a head separation than have to contend with cracked/split necks.

    You guys that run gas guns and full auto's your brass is cheap as chips and easier for you to source so who cares if you lose a couple each time out here with limited factories we have to outsource from over seas.
    You think you've got it tough with dried up shooting supplies try and be in Australiaicon where you cannot get much of anything remotely related to reloading or powder, so if I can save cases by annealing them I will every time I fire them......
    We have not been able to get R.P 303 brass for the last 3-4 years which I use the only other brass is Hornady which is very expensive or Sellier & Bellot equally as dear.

    As far as "Never seen a rifle" the Turks and the Germans in both WW's certainly found out that allot of the ANZAC's were very adept at shooting them seeing as they had grown up on farms and shot for the pot roo's/pigs/rabbits/ducks.
    Most Aussies then and now have had some contact with firearms in our lives.
