    Interesting Rifle from Afganistan

    I noticed this video today. Mark Novak of Anvil Gunsmithing is going to do a video of a full teardown, refurb, chamber casting, etc. to hopefully put it back in service.
    I thought this was pretty interesting.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    "There are no screws on the gun", right after pointing out how the extractor is retained by one.

    Clever design. He doesn't mention the obvious point on the dovetailing of the barrel into the receiver: ease of machining in manufacture.

    The sporting version shown here is good deal more attractive: Schlegelmilch German Hunting Guns

    Apparently a proposed Gew98 substitute with Schlegelmilch actionn: https://www.rockislandauction.com/de...rimental-rifle Some dummy has apparently buffed, blued and steel wooled the rifle, the better to appeal to the educated buyers!

    Can Schlegelmilch be credited with inventing or first producing a rifle whose bolt locks into the barrel itself?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
