    Jim, I was hunting feral hogs in B.C. 40 years ago.
    .

    I remember the offers for the hunting trip Frank
    I've even asked Charlie Painter, GI BoB and a couple of others. Heck I've even ask Jim Flavin when he still could get around Really Good
    I watched about 30 of those YouTube Hunting for Hogs in a Helicopter and for every Hog that was Downed they spent 11 to 13 rounds. I hope those were Reloads. When I grew up at the Ranch being taught how to Hunt from my GrandFather and my Father the only thing you really worried about theses Hogs back then was "Don't let your guard down in the Thicket" Those ***tards and those Tusks can Really Cut you up without you knowing just for awhile like a Mexican with a Switchblade. Before I shot my first Hog 41 yrs ago I had already killed 2 Really nice Cougars some nice Bobcats lot of Doe and Bucks. Now these Darn Hogs have run off the the Doe so before hunting season we pay some workers to take care of the feed and keep them away from the Oates Patches.

    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.

    This is what I've gleaned from this thread so far,

    1. Buy your 100% carbine from a reputable trustworthy dealer
    2. Be cautious when dealing with eBay carbine parts sellers
    3. Buy nothing from tagmil on eBay or elsewhere
    4. Use said carbine to shoot feral hogs on the Canadianicon plains, Navada or Arkansas. Am I up to speed so far?

    I'm kidding of course but as a carbine noob I truly appreciate the spirit and purpose of this thread, thanks.

    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
