    Making of the 1917 rifle (Video)

    This came up on YouTube, I found it interesting.
    Some clips seem out of order and some are miss-labelled, but the operations are obvious.

    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 don't see the original either (just the BAR post)
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    The same thing is happening on 'GunBoards'.

    A picture is posted and some can see it but most cannot see it and just get a 'blank space'.

    Funnily enough I just happened across the same video recently in B&W format. Worth remembering that these companies had on average a 100% worker turnover every three months! Competition for labour was fierce and employers must have been competing heavily. Both they and the workers knew that the good times would last as long as the war and so were out to get it while the getting was good.

    The version I saw was ridiculously over-speed; set on half speed it was still probably faster than real life.
    “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.
