    Cheers to true allies

    While behind the scenes there's always a good bit more buggery going on than plain folks would be comfortable with I'm sure, I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation to America's allies.
    Once the unpleasantness with the tea was straightened out and a few World Wars later too, I can think of no stronger bonds between countries than those enjoyed by America, Canadaicon, The United Kingdomicon, Australiaicon and New Zealand. I'd like to think it's not just commonality of language. We have other strong alliances of course, but you guys have stuck by us through some tough times and some dumb stuff and that's the mark of a true friend. And I suspect our allegiance is going to be critical over the next 50 years.
    Thank you from a I hope, a typical American

    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.

    Clearly I've misjudged the alliance. Or maybe that's just how ya'll are here. Rock on Milsurp.

    Our countries have shared allot some good & some well not so good but as one would say we have all shed blood together yes Ovidio Italyicon woke up to those pair and decided to throw their hat in with the winning sides and has been with us ever since.

    As for the Kiwis well they are almost Australians! ooops no sorry 'bout that their demeanour is very much like ours pretty laid back until the sh*t gets real then its a case of steam rolling until the jobs done.
    And the Canadians as well have been through thick and thin with us all, pretty wild circus out there at present and a very worrying time for all the free ppls of this rock either way I'm sure Aus and the rest of the motley crew will always have the USAicon's back.
    Onya bloke......
