    Talking Fido

    Has anyone else seen the TV ads for the new '50's-era zombie movie, "Fido"?

    It's just a quick cut in the ad but I'm pretty sure it shows a clean-cut homeowner whacking a zombie with a No. 4. That makes sense as I think it's a Canadianicon production. And it stars Carrie Ann Moss.

    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 will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    There's only one thing better than a dead zombie, a zombie that was made dead by a Lee Enfield! And just to top it off, I hope the No4 dude gets the chicky-babe! The last bloke Carrie Ann Moss got tangled up with in a movie was a full-auto nut that spent most of his time fighting with an aussie! "Ah, we meet again Mr Anderson...."

    Hmmm, did find this promo pic. It's not the No4 I thought I saw, but it is a milsurp.

    Looks to be an 03-A3

    That would make sense if the film was made in the good old USAicon.

    Actually, it's a refurbished Springfield M1903 with a scant stock and no finger grooves. Hard to tell in that pic but the rear sight base looks undished, making it a 1940's era Remington (pre-1903A3).
