    Good stuff there. I kind of wish my daughter had the attention span for me to really begin to teach her, but I don't even trust her with a nerf gun right now. I saw that 1917 and had to check to make sure that's what I saw. I may have to get another Enfield (this time in 303 ^^ ^^) I do have a love for those MILSURP bolt guns. I also need a couple of semi's these days though. Bug is flaring up, gotta roll pennies now.
    Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

    The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

    Technically not SMLE's.....They're No.4, MkI rifles.

    Which makes me ask? Savage? Cool! I've got a Lithgow No.4, Mk2, essentially the same, minor refinements.

    Cool!

    What does the 2.06 SA mean? In basic infantry training we simply referred to the rifle as the M1 Garand.

    Thanks,

    Do any of those bolt action rifles have all matching numbers? I have pretty much given up finding one with all numbers matching.
