G'day all!  The name is Steve (AKA Richo) and I'm a Lee-Enfield addict.  I live in Katherine, Northern Territory Australia.  No we don't ride kangaroos Wink.  I'm an Armourer (Fitter and Turner by trade) in the Air Force (also ex Army) so working on my own rifles is something I love to do.  I love hunting and shooting.  Uh thats about it really.  Any questions feel free to ask.

Welcome to the forum! We could do with a few more Brits too there's only around 3/4 on the site and it's hard work teaching Americans how to spell and speak the Queens English! Big smileBig smile

Well in all honesty I'm actually a Kiwi born and bred.  Only had the frontal lobotomy 5 years ago so I could join the army.  I support 2 teams when it comes to sport NZ and whoever's playing against Australia.  Still when the French play the Wallabies I just turn the TV off!  All said and done thanks for the welcome guys and I hope to maybe pick up a few hints and maybe share a few if I can.
