    Carry A Pocketknife!

    During deployments undershirts got shorter all the time. UA type shirts suck to cleanup with. Sometimes dysentery was so bad you just cut the ass out of your pants!

    Feast your Eyes on....

    I'm bidding on this, BSA-Howell M1916 self-loading conversion of the SMLE. An maybe another Lewis if SWMBO says OK. Otherwise it's just the Howell. As for the Lewis, the BSA .303B will go under 20K, but the Savage 30-06 might hit 50K. http://jamesdjulia.com/item/1146-369/...

    Social experiment; my wife's stupid fucking shoes

    Guess I'm the "only" other that has done this. I also throw the kids toys away if left out. That started after I sliced my foot on Legos. Kids put their stuff away fast now. The bad, after two months of throwing shoes out she didn't notice. She looked a little bit for them, then just buys a...

    Pattern 14 Enfield Value (.303 British)

    Yep, old import from Springfied Sporters. They put it together, I would bet the rifle spent time in India because of that. SS had tons of them back in the good old days. I have one I bought there in the late 70's in an Indian stock. Selling it? I would replace the magazine plate an keep it...

    Pattern 14 Enfield Value (.303 British)

    Pictures or it's worth $75 USD. Has it been through Weedon? Parts match? Dad Army markings? They are cheap in the USA, tons came in in the past few years. I reread your post. The stock has been to Weedon and the DP mark means take the rifle down to parts. Then check everything. Either...

    Rural Homeowner's Insurance

    I'm rural on the East Coast. Was dropped by one insurance company because they came out to inspect the farm (after 10 years) an my dogs met them at the car :). They never informed me they where inspecting. Dogs are on the invisible fence for 10 acres and won't let you out of the car unless mom...

    Where the heck did all the No32 enfield scopes go?

    Dr Roger Paine is another in the UK to look up. At one time he had a bucket full of No 32's from India. He was having them rebuilt as them where in relic condition. I have two of them that Capt Laidler rebuilt. Trying to put a parts kit together will cost more then BDL's kit. The Chest...

    Where the heck did all the No32 enfield scopes go?

    Warren rebuilt eight of my No 32's. He has some to sell time to time. But the link I post has the best deals going at the time. As for Brian not having anything. I called an he has this still: Military Firearms CR BSA MK 1T Good luck getting a "Kit" like that any cheaper.

    Where the heck did all the No32 enfield scopes go?

    E-bay drove the prices over 2K, for a scope needing a rebuild. Hit the Enfield forums. Look for Warren in Canada an Capt Peter Laidler in the UK. Both have rebuilt scopes for me. Brain Dick is the exporter for scopes to Capt Laider. His site BDL LTD Now, if you can live with a rebuilt relic I...
