    A vendor named "sparrowhawkm14" used to sell them, but I have no idea if he still does.

    I wanted a fake selector lock to put in there instead of a "happy switch"...in the end I decided it wasn't worth the bother.

    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.

    $65.99? Ouch!!! They were around $15 when I got my M1Aicon in the mid 80's.

    M-14 auto

    In my first stint of Army service in the mid sixties, I carried the full auto M-14. Loved it on semi, couldn’t hit anything on auto. Just a waste of precious ammo. I own one today as a M1Aicon in super match.

    Full Auto

    Melvin Johnson proved as far back as 1939 that full auto was VASTLY inferior to well-aimed semi-auto. Not only were the second and third rounds way off target as expected, the FIRST round was not as accurate! That's because the shooter knew what was coming so didn't aim as carefully and also flinched a bit in anticipation. Why Ordnance fell for the Russianicon method of poorly trained troops with autos who sprayed and prayed is beyond me.
    Real men measure once and cut.
