    Where can I get...

    a 1" version of a M1907 sling, in black? Got one in brown, but it looks real tacky on my Mini-14 in a Tapco stock.

    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.

    re-dye it to....

    black. the brown dye is a good base, if it was natural leather, the black wurldurn brown.
    talk to a leather/ shoe repair shop.

    CTMC,
    I gather you were connected with the Naval Security Group, at least that's what it was called when I was a member of the Army's equivalent, the ASA.

    If I guessed correctly, then I'll ask this: did you folks keep a small ship cruising around The Gulf of Thailand in the early 1960s? Periodically, that ship would hit port and turn the city of Bangkok upside down.

    Regards,
    Louis of PA

    I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of AGER/AGTR-type vessels in the Gulf of Thailand at that or any other time. Actually, that was before my time (and I understand I missed out on some bodacious liberty!).

    Promise not to tell anyone? I was in the Navy for 24 years - and never on a ship. My sea-time consists of a visit to the USS Missouri in 1968 (research where she was then!), several harrowing trips aboard the Seattle/Bremerton ferry (a clue to the answer to the previous question), and an overnight "excursion" ("tiger cruise, a guest of my son) on the USS Iwo Jima upon her return from her maiden voyage in support of operations in Iraq.
