Visited a gunsmith yesterday in Waco to pick up my venerable .22 JC Higgins. The 'smith had replaced several springs, a pin and built up the lifter, all for the remarkably sane price of $35.
So we fell to talking about Lee Enfields.
Putin - get rid of that old Mosin Nagant. |
My friend thought they were OK, but only as "boat guns". Boat guns? Yes. For killing sharks.

Not in my area!
ReplyDeleteI have to say it was a new one on me...
ReplyDeleteOnly rifle I've ever fired.
ReplyDeleteBut then I don't really like guns.

ReplyDeleteLee's were popular here for some time after WW2 - lots of surplus rifles that were well made and accurate. They're still pretty cheap but getting rarer. I enjoy mine, though the ammo's pricey.
Cheers.
Killing sharks? You mean "liturgists?"

ReplyDeleteThe photo of Putin sure looks PhotoShopped to me.
ReplyDeleteChas, I think you're right.
ReplyDeleteGood old Putin and the sharks...
