All the Muslim terrorist crap would end tomorrow if it was announced that the next incident would result in a bomb loaded with pig grease detonating over Mecca.

My son said that when he did his tours in Iraq, they made it known that all their rounds touched pork before being loaded.

Well, the US is on the same "enlightened" trend that the Europeans have been on for the last half century. Unless we recognize that "borders, language, and culture" are indeed worth protecting, we will be the same as they. Progressivism says. "so what". Hell, even our president would probably say, "so what".

That's a nice rack, and looks like he'd be young enough to be good eater.

In spite of all the hours I put in out in the field, and all the calling I did, I didn't see a legal moose this year. I was really hoping to see how my .303 would do compared to my old .30.06. Maybe next year.

Did you get him here on the pen, or elsewhere?

Once the greatest country on earth, now a pitiful, socialistic loser. "Bama would love us to emulate them.

I am having the same problem. Very embarrassing, especially when I have given my e-mail to parents of my students. Is their software compatible with a Mac that will deal with a "trojan horse"?

These Islamic maggots burned or buried 3000 Americans alive on 9/11 AND danced in the streets.

 

So I should worry about burning a few Korans?????

 

I remember 9/11.

 

If they want a war, bring it on...Give them the type of war Genghis Khan gave them.

The media is fanning the flame on this story. Without their hype this would be a non-issue. The media are hypocrites of the highest order.

What does he mean he's gender neutral? A eunuch?

 

That's the good thing about online degrees- it diminishes the influence of nut jobs like her!

Sounds like her "life mate" is the one who had the "nut job".

I had my eye on a jeep that was parked in a lot on the Spur Highway across from Lucky Raven. I was waiting for the price to go down. Somebody else got it.

My thought was that it would be a good rig to navigate Mystery Creek Road all the way to Chickaloon Bay, so I could molest the ducks and geese that stage there. Maybe next year...

Beautiful work! The rifles look superb.

I have had good luck with Boyds, and have been pleased with the stocks I have put on both a Mosin and an Enfield.

 

 

Create a "birth inhabiter" inject it at birth and only allow those who pass the "test" to assume "burden of parent hood". Of course the "enlightened" will pass and since the "Elite" are enlightened their children will enjoy the brave new world.

 

No overpopulation...no war..no crime..pure water..lots of space.. robots to do the work..allow just enough "little people" as needed for pleasure or servants ......The Progressive as god.

The main fly in the ointment of this scenario is that the minorities and the Muslims (who may not be minorities for long) will not prescribe to the inhibition of births, feminism, nor the lack of importance of the family. So the very folks the Progressives have fought so hard to protect and propagate, would be their undoing (and of course, the rest of us WASPs would have already been undone).

The irony of it all is that Hispanics do not prescribe at all to the Progressive agenda of white guilt, free sex, anti-war, statism, tree hugging, etc. The liberals are only courting them for their potential vote by promising legality and legitimacy if they support them. But once they have legitimacy, the Hispanics will abandon the libs like a hot potato.

Yes they do but they can be hard to find. You'll have to do some looking if you want any.

 

I have two SMLEs and love'em. Just make sure you stack the cartidges in with the rim on top in front of the rim below it and you'll have a rugged, dependable rifle.

 

Do you know what model you have? It should be marked on the wrist. I have a No. 1 Mk III and a No. 4 Mk 1*. Both are good rifles although I'd give the nod to the number simply because I like peep sight.

 

Good shooting!

Jason-

I don't know what model I have. On the right side it has the following:

On the left it just has:

I love shooting this gun, though I am not yet getting good groupings. I was comparing the action to that of my son's Swedish mauser, and it is so much smoother.

I will have to keep a look out for stripper clips.

I had a couple enfields and if I didn't sequence the rounds such that the upper round was forward of the lower round the upper rim would tend to hang on the lower rim.

Thanks Bob! Yes, that is what is happening. Guess I need to watch how I load the clip. Do they make stripper clips for LEs?

Well I recently bought a .303 after looking for one for a while. My father had one when I was very young which he got from Montgomery Ward. I took it deer hunting as a teenager, but never connected (mostly because I didn't know what I was doing). The model I have is a Lithgow SMLE made in 1944. It also says MA 55 near the safety.

The rifle appears to have been sporterized as it had a shortened forearm, though it did still have an upper hand piece atop the barrel by the ramp type sight. I replaced the forearm with a new walnut one from Boyds, and will probably put on a new matching butt stock as well, though I will reshape it in the traditional, small pistol grip Enfield style, and will keep the the brass butt plate. The receiver and the bridge over the magazine was tapped for a scope, so I ordered a mount from Midway and put a 3x9 Redfield on it. I was surprised that the 3/8" dovetail mount used rings made for a .22/air rifle!

I like this rifle far more than my Mosin Nagant which seems cold and hard compared to the smoothness and shootability of the Enfield. She is a lady.

OK, after all that lead-in, my question is: is it common for the magazines on these SMLEs to jam and not feed correctly? I had to stop several times while sighting the rifle in in order to unjam the rounds. Perhaps not all magazines are created equal? Am I loading the rounds incorrectly? Thanks for any input you may provide.

My friend was sailing there on MSC charter during Gulf War I, loading in Saudi Arabia and refueling the fleet. He said that the Saudis would put a guy with a machine gun at the bottom of the gangway to make sure no infidel (that would be us) stepped foot on holy Saudi land. The mate couldn't even go on the dock to read the load lines off the hull, something required to load the ship. My friend's comment was "what the hell are we defending these assholes for?"

Why are we defending them? I believe the simple answer is OIL. Even though 'Bams talks about weaning America from petroleum, the president makers, such as Soros, are deep into oil riches. They just want it on their terms. So they will gladly offer American military strength to defend a backward and despotic little kingdom such as Saudi Arabia in order to protect their riches, and ultimately their control over us.

I have heard it said that Jewish or Christian US personnel were not allowed to worship in chapel services while in SA, but had to be flown to carriers to do so. Islam is very restrictive towards other religions, placing them in dhimmi status, while at the same time taking great advantage of religious freedoms in countries they immigrate to.

When will Americans come to their senses?

You are right Karl. Saudi Arabia is where the Wahab sect originated and prospers. It is the most anti-western, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-woman religious sect in the world. Probably the richest too, since it is state sponsored. It is spreading like wild fire throughout the Muslim world through the medium of the madras (religious schools). Saudi Arabia also sponsors schools in the US.

Though true that 'Bams kowtowed to the king, Bush was tight with them as well (though I don't think he ever bowed to one). Scary, isn't it?

And AzRednek- why did 'Bams send the bust of Winston Churchill BACK to England? How strange is that? With this administration what was wrong is right/what was down is up/what was white is .... well... um, gray.

Can you imagine the unmitigated gall of these people; to want to build a mosque where adherents of their faith claimed the lives of thousands of people? Not only that, but they want to name it after a region they captured when they invaded Spain: Cordoba. And NY politicians are ready to embrace this idea! Liberalism in its naked idiocy. All one needs to do is see where accepting Islam and its 7th century value system has gotten Europe.

All I can say is they better build their mosque airplane proof or they may get a taste of their own medicine (pilotless of course).

Man, you must live in a wind tunnel!

I haven't seen many calm days on the pen this summer, but I haven't had any wind here in Kasilof strong enough to blow off my grill. Maybe plant some trees!

Picked up a new grill and was going to take care of this one got a cover and every thing, used it a couple times, the wind blew like a bas!!!!ard and blew it off the deck bent her up like a pretzal. so much for new stuff...

In regards to the homeless, the Field of Dreams principle applies: "Build it and they will come." In other words, wherever infrastructure is in place or built to accommodate the homeless, more will come.

Nice looking rifle. The 7.62x54R is everything the -06 is. Can you post a link to the scope mount you used?

 

Is Timney really making an MN trigger?

I'm surprised you didn't know about the Timney triggers, I found out about them on this site!

Here's their link:

My link

The ATI scope mounts for MNs come with a funky tap and screw on bolt handle. They are all over eBay:

My link

I had to cut my scope mount back a ways to accomodate The bolt handle I had made, which came from this guy:

My link

That's a nice looking rifle. Good job.

Thanks. I have a few more things I want to do, such as a better scope than the Simmons, a Timney trigger, perhaps slightly shorten and re-crown the end of the barrel. I am leaving on the iron sights until I decide for sure about the barrel.

Surprisingly, the MN doesn't kick any harder than my Winchester Model 70 .30.06 even though it doesn't have a butt pad, while the Winny does.

One thing I really like about the MNs is the price of ammo.

It was made in '42. Shoots accurately, and it was fun to build it into what I wanted it to be. The stock is a Boyds. I had the bolt done by the guy from eBay. The scope mount is an ATI, but I had to cut it back to accomodate the bolt handle.

I don't know you but I can sure feel your pain through your words. I can't imagine your grief. Please hang in there and find continued purpose in life as I am sure there are those who love you and need you. I too will be praying for you.

Mrs. LaBonte's letter is well written and accurate. The people who passed through Ellis island and other ports of entry for LEGAL immigration were more than happy to leave their flags and governments behind and embrace America, no matter what it took. What's more, they wanted their children to be Americans. Not to say that they didn't celebrate the "old country" every now and again, but most held no illusions that they had left something better.

Today I saw our president apologize to the president of Mexico for the actions of Arizona. I saw the president of Mexico assert that America was mistreating his citizens on American soil... well, if they are Mexican citizens, what the hail are they doing in America if their country is so fair and good? Further, would Americans have rights even anywhere close to Mexican illegals if we were caught illegally on Mexican soil? And how about that under-secretary of state over in China apologizing to the freaking Chinese about American human rights "abuses". What a mad house we are living in! Does anyone have a count-down of the time left?

From: "David LaBonte"

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register. Here is Rosemary’s letter.

 

Dear Editor:

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

 

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

 

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

 

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out.

My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people.

 

When we liberated France , no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

 

And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

 

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.
