My November 11 "Milsurp Thank You"

[louthepou]

Hi there,

Well it's been a few year in a row now; Nov. 11 at the range, testing some Lee Enfields that I refurbish.

Some of you may already know, but long story short, I started working on Lee Enfields after a brief discussion with a WW2 veteran some 5 years ago. This gentleman was kind enough to share his story with me. It had a profound effect on me (there's a euphemism). Refurbishing Lee Enfields is my own little way of keeping the History alive and honoring the memories.

So, this year, I shot three Lee Enfields at the range. Two of those I brought back from "Bubba-Land" (The 2 smle's; the Jungle I just adapted a No4 handguard to replace the one that was toast on it).

My humble way of saying, to those who did serve, and those who do serve: THANK YOU.

I also fired for the first time my Australian International Arms M10-B1; it's a fine rifle! I did fire that one at 200 yards:

Note to those who are looking at the groupings: they are obviously my best ones of the day. Some others were far less... glorious? (But I destroyed the evidence )

Thanks Lou for doing your little bit to undo what others have done in the past.
