Re: Using the New phpBB3 Upgrade
Overall I am very disappointed with this new format. There was nothing wrong with the old format, at least from the user point of view. I am disappointed with my loss of very useful and interesting information. Good luck to you all who collect any type of rifles. I have much different opinions about...

Re: Aniversery of the site yesterday
How do I return to the old look on the site? This one has a lot of fancy colours but is harder to use.

No1 MkVI
It appears that you have a rebuilt Lee-Enfield No 1 MkVI. These were the trials and prototype versions of a rifle that later became the No4 Mk1 rifles. They were made mostly in the very late 1920s and some in the early 1930s. Most were put into storage after the troop trials. In late 1940, after Dun...

I do not recall ever saying that Canadian beer is all very good. We suffer from some substantial difficulties as a result of becoming larger. For example, Moosehead was named for the wrong end of the moose, a better name is Moosepiss. That is a horrible drink, better suited for mopping barn floors. ...
