I have one of those, an SMLE No 1 Mk III made in 1918, not one of those crappy ones made during WW 2. Great rifle with 180 grain bullets (I prefer those to the more common 170's)

Here in AZ, the .222 is great for rabbit, coyote, and even javelina.

Nice! Did yours have the bayonet mount and/or bayonet?

Someone removed the mount on mine, did a great job if trimming down the wood on the end, made it look real sporty. And mine still had the cleaning kit in the stock though! And mine has 1927 over-engraved near the SN, as if it had been re-manufactured!

And yes, my father-in-law ordered the die for his re-loader, and he insisted we collect all our brass and reload all our ammo. We were cheap Bastards! :laugh:

And we used to load em' up with 180! He did the same for his 30-0-6 bullets!

At dinner parties, sometimes there is that jerk who points out that technically, champagne is only white wine from the champagne region of France. They try to look educated, but instead just look a little silly.

In combat, they do not exist. There is no way Night was ever in a military.

No, you cannot redefine words by insulting people.

Interesting. I do know that these high velocity rounds will leave huge cavities, so can do a lot of damage beyond making a clean hole. But yes, I do know they are required to be full metal jackets.

Hollow point bullets are used by the military, dumbass.

Yes. Really. Hollow point bullets are used by the military. So are FMJ's.

Hollow points are illegal by the Genevia Convention for warfare.

The Hague Convention of 1899 forbid the use of "Dum-dum" bullets in war, and that has been continued in the Genevia Convention as a prohibition against using hollow point bullets in warfare. The military used only full metal jacket bullets today.

Detachable magazines are colloquially known as clips. So a large capacity magazine could be called a "large capacity clip."

That's like saying that all refrigerators are Frigidaires because in some place they are "colloquially known" as such. Just saying "colloquial" doesn't mean the same thing as "correct"....

A clip is used to hold the bullets in line to more quickly load a magazine, a magazine pushes the next round up into the firing chamber and is not a clip... They are different things even if folks who do not know about guns use it incorrectly "colloquially".

Well Frigidaire was a monopoly...... until the Anti-Trust laws started kicking in.

Your clip vs. magazine explanation was great!
