Shoot the Lee, for God's Sake!

You may have thought that I'd forgotten about firearms, being so busy with the Mission Field and all. But no, despite a grievous lack of readily available ammo -- please, someone, sort it out -- I've managed to get to my friend's range a couple of times.

Upgrade the glass, yo.

I was especially pleased with my "project Lee," an old 1917 SMLE that'd been sporterized once, badly, then re-sporterized by me in an amateur attempt to own a make-believe Lee Speed. Not being a stereotype, I want to own something approximating to the hunting rifle of the British Empire.

Sand, Plane, Rasp, Blue

Whatever, the mock Speed shot pretty well, putting rounds in a Dime with a used Burris(!) scope. Not bad for a WWI rifle that's gone through several porch project gunsmith hours. 

There's a Rifle on the Table1

Some people have motorcycles in their front room, or "lounge." Others go for Lees on the Mahogany. Same strategy, different tactic? 

Fruity!

In other news, the oddly named Gavin SameSex Welby has come out vastly in favor of wimmin bishops and rather cautiously in favor of gay sex. Go on, Gavin, bite the bullet!

Yours unstereotypically,

I'm a typical woman. Saw the table and forgot about the firearm (immediately.) Cute chairs, too. Saw the poor, poor dead bunnies. Ugh!

Out of curiosity, do you think our pets go to heaven?

Glad you like the table & chairs, Adrienne, belonged to my Texan Grandmother. Sorry about the bunnies, but they were eaten!

LSP said...

Perhaps, Third News, that depends on the pet? I can think of several candidates for the "other place"...

Yes, if either does exist, I'd rather be with my dog

Adrienne, it is a Duncan Phyfe dining-room sans chairs!
