    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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.

    Sweet. A few tweaks, and she'll be good to go at Camp Perry.

    Probably for the same reason he was cleaning rust out of the barrel with a wire brush BEFORE verifying that it was unloaded. Truly the mark of an expert at handling firearms.

    To be honest, I liked the look of it before he done anything to it.

    Did he really think that rifle was going to function with a badly pitted chamber? I would have left it as a wall hanger.

    I doubt he cared about anything except how many views and therefore how much revenue the video would generate.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Lots of work for something that should have been a wall hanger. So many rifles out that that would have been better candidates for the restoration. This is just my opinion
