    Nice looking round Jim, you'd have to be a bit of a contortionist feeding that lump of a thing into the breech whilst bouncing around inside the turret as I gather the suspension on the Centurian would not be anywhere near the suspension of todays modern AFV's have.

    One thing that has always puzzled me is when Christie demonstrated his suspension system and the tank being able to do 60mph on its road wheels, only the Russians snapped it up to be put onto their T34 series pretty bizarre really, imagine the Christie suspension on a Churchill, mind you that tank could climb very steep gradients as it was.

    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 ...
