    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.

    Seems a lot of information here which seems accurate is counter to what we've known so far.

    There are serious problems with the Secret Service. They are being watched constantly now since the assassination attempt and it looks like for very good reason.

    At a Harris event recently, they duct taped the security camera of a nearby business, unlocked the door and used it as their private bathroom for the day. They also helped themselves to the food and things in the business. Some are calling this a violation of the Constitution, of all things the 3rd Amendment, the quartering of troops. They didn't ask permission to be there and when they finished for the day, they left the door unlocked.

    And it gets worse. At a Donald Trump rally on Wednesday, a Secret Service agent left her post to BREAST FEED HER BABY. Yes, it is unbelievable, but it happened. Who in their right mind takes a BABY on the job for protection duty???

    Confirmed. It was local SWAT who stopped Crooks from firing by damaging his rifle and sending fragments into his face and neck. Why has it taken this long to get this information. The southern Secret Service sniper team is "believed" to have then fired the fatal shot. Why is it still "believed"? Can't they count bullets that were fired?

    Assassin had three encrypted accounts for sending texts, all based overseas in Europe. Apparently, the investigators can't get into them.

    They do have different laws where these accounts are located which is why they were opened in the first place. The US has no jurisdiction there.

    Five Secret Service agents were placed on leave, with full pay, including one from Trumps personal detail.

    FBI released pictures of the rifle.

    There was some reporting that a local officer fired at him first, damaging the rifle. Crooks got up from his prone position to his knees to troubleshoot his rifle, allowing the counter sniper to take the fatal shot.

    Rear of the stock shows damage in the picture, but hard to tell if the buffer tube was damaged as well.

    Meanwhile the FBI muddies things up some more. It now appears they are implying that Crooks would have shot either Trump or Biden given the chance and that there were no foreign entanglements despite the 3 encrypted foreign accounts THEY CAN'T GET INTO.

    Congressmen investigating the shooting say they have to rely on leaks to get to the truth of what happened as they are getting little from the investigators in the FBI and what they do get doesn't seem to match up to anything else that we know.

    In unusual news, we have seen that the FBI washed the roof off on day three I believe. The FBI apparently never cleans up the crime scene, that's left to private contractors. We also have the body being released to the family and cremated before the coroner responsible for it even got to examine it. An autopsy was done, but not by the coroner.
