    I Found a Rifle

    Weird title I know, but I was looking through my photos this afternoon trying to reference something and noticed a rifle was missing. An Indian MKIII* with a grenade launcher. How this managed to escape my camera is beyond me. I don't appear to have ever made mention of it on here either which is really odd. I've had this thing for years, taken it to numerous shows. In any case as not many of them seem to have been posted here I'll get some photos up and in the Enfield section shortly. I was also trying to find out how much the cups are going for without success. Appears none has been on the market for quite a while.

    Lot of old memories digging around after this. I found my old photobucket account. Still worthless. I have 1500+ photos on there and can only see 250 of them. The rest are fogged out. They want me to pay for them. Not happening. I checked to make sure these photos were still here, they are, Badger had image capture going on. 95% of all my photos there are here, somewhere. First thing when I signed in was a big sign in my face "YOU ARE HOSTING PHOTOS ON OTHER SITES WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED, PAY MORE" or something to that effect. Why Imgur can host for free and photobucket which was free had to stop, who knows.

    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.

    A friend of mine has a wire wrapped 1916 BSA with cup launcher...he's been debating selling it, and I've been debating throwing out an offer.
    The majority of cups I see for sale around my area have been in the $100-$150 range.

    I can't even find one for sale and I think I paid $100 for this one years ago. They have to have gone up considerably since then.
