The .22 page is now open! I'm guessing foe all .22 Enfield trainers, converted sub caliber Enfields & the kits & the older single-shot rifles with a side order of "Other .22 trainers"!

Let us make it so.
I will have to take a trip north and get my Father-in-law's NZ marked NoI MKIII. He has been gone for a few years.

When my Dad was in public school, it was the Union Jack, then gradually, the Canadian Red Ensign became more common. On occasions such as Queen Victoria Day and Dominion Day we flew the Union Jack. As a kid, I had the job to raise and lower the flag every day.
We had a row of full grown Lombardy Poplars and the top of the flag pole reached the top of the poplars, the flag could be seen for nearly a mile.
My Dad did call that other flag the “Maple Rag”. |

The Canadian flag you speak of it the correct flag.
My family served in the Boer war, the First World War, Second World War, and the Korean War. The he!! to the liberals and the mule that rode in on then.

I remember the Canadian flag-flap well.1965..the Liberals HAD to have their own snot-rag flag!
Every Canadian veteran & common folks alike were agin it! The Red Ensign showed all the founding countries in the coat of arms(England,France,Scotland,Ireland). Its the flag the 2nd war & Korean vets served under.Its the flag they wanted to live under. But Liberals are Liberals & to he!! with the people! I still fly the Red Ensign @ my house(along with it's predecessor). There was a movement to bring the Red Ensign back - petitions & all...but the Lie-berals labelled it a RACIST FLAG!! Therefore they dismissed the motion. |

I've asked my dear wife to make sure my coffin is draped in the flag of the union when the time comes; it's always a worry in the back of your mind that the Scottish nationalists may get their way and the flag alters.
Edited to add; I hope that's a way off, too many rifles to shoot in the meantime!

The flag was fine and should never have been changed.

Shamu, my Dad never got over that. We continued to fly the Red Ensign at home, and the Union Jack on Victoria Day.

i remember that controversy , seems their voices were not heard , but then when your rewriting history as so many are today , i doubt that matters in the conversations , they can pretend to do it but in the end all of us know communism when we see it and we alll remember their history --as well as our own
national socialism is still communism in my book , i reject it all

I distinctly remember the Canadian family members of my tribe when the old ensign was replaced by the modern red & white maple leaf one. They were not thrilled. it was referred to a "the @$$RAG" for ever.

Ahhh, the “old flag” as Dad would call it. When he saw it flying at a home out on a country drive when I was a kid he would say “there’s still a few of us left in the Dominion of Canada”. |
