2) You volunteered information as well, which was also appreciated.
3) What was , however, not appreciated is you once again later reverting to the mildly irritating gyaan guru mode. Which I felt the need to bring to your notice, again, hoping you see which button not to press.
Otherwise all is well. Peace.

Otherwise, as I said, knowledge given freely and without condescension is always appreciated.
As it was here as well. Till the halo of gyaan guru shone through.Last edited by sated buddha; 23 May 14,, 10:51.

Hopefully I can visit Germany and Switzerland next year.
Ok, I was kidding on that last part, but I do envy you."Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Originally posted by antimony View PostI cannot legally buy them there. Here I can. the other problem with the Lee Enfield is that .303 British is hard to find, unless you reload, whereas the ammo for the Swiss K31 (7.5 Swiss GP 11) is still available and can also be reloaded.
I just think they look really cool, with the wood covering the whole of the barrel part. Would be a nice addition to a period collection if you can manage getting one and taking it to the US.
Maybe I could pop by Yerawada one of these days and ask Sanju baba for some pointers .....

No, thank you!
Of course, the up side to them is that when we are old and infirm, they are there to take care of us.
I guess in our case, we just have to make sure to be out, about, and have a hunting accident when that is about to occur.

Originally posted by sated buddha View PostAre the ones we use here in India (Police, BSF, NCC, etc.) really of proper WWII vintage or are they just the same design but made mch later? Sort of like the Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles? The reason I'm asking is that (out here) we've never had a problem of finding the ammo? Or were you referring to something else?

SMLE rifles (most variants) are available here in varying conditions from C&R importers. They run between 300 to 600 USD.
BSF and other paramilitary froces have moved onto the the FN FAL or INSAS. NCC would probably use surplus stuff that they get.
The ammo would be from the Indian Ordnance Factory plants, made for our forces and I doubt that they would make their way to the US, legally."Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
