Would it be acceptable to create a few new categories such as: Reloading for the 7.62mm Enfields L39/42A1,DCRA, and other No4/5 Enfield variants Hunting with the 7.62mm Enfield

Hallo, Ich denke, eine neue Forum-Kategorie zum Nachladen der 7,62-mm-Enfields ist eine gute Idee :-) Im Moment beschäftige ich mich auch mit der Frage nach guter Fabrikmunition und der manuellen Arbeit für diese Gewehre. Hier in der Schweiz gibt es in der 7,62-mm-NATO leider wenig Munitionsauswahl. Sprechen Sie praktisch nur Standard-Militärmunition, kaum etwas präziser. Google Translation: he!!o I think a new forum category for reloading the 7.62 mm enfields is a good idea :-) At the moment I am also dealing with the question of good factory ammunition and manual work for these rifles. Here in Switzerland, there is unfortunately little ammunition selection in the 7.62 mm NATO. Speak practically only standard military ammunition, hardly anything more precise. Enfield Envoy |

As we have an increase in interest in the .22 RF rifles, conversions & trainers, can we get a .22 rifle sub category added, please? I think there are enough recent posts I could give it a kick start by moving several fairly current threads into it.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

How about an "other firearms" category. I'm sure people here that collect Enfields also have other stuff they would like to show off. I know I do. LOL ------------- 14EH AIT Instructor-PATRIOT Fire Control Enhanced Operator/Maintainer |

| im OK with that - so many other sites have categories for everything [including that] we dont need to go down that road , i like we are enfield emphasized , but i dont disagree with a 22 trainer area |

Either way, I don't mind if we keep the.2's in the normal "Rifles" category; or start a new special one. As you know,I have a few .22''s. However by keeping them in the regular "Rifles"page; maybe newcomers will be more likely to learn about them! ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

| Question. What would qualify as a .22 trainer? |

This thread went stale, but I think a .22 Trainer Forum would be useful; that would be any Lee Enfield rifle in .22 Cal Rim Fire. Keeping with the previous format; ".22 Enfield" title would work. Most discussion would be on the No. 2, No. 7, CNo.7 and No. 8 Rifles.

The suggestion of a .22 sub forum has come up a few times. So far no interest up the pipeline. If we did create a .22 rifles or "Trainers" section I'd suggest including the .22 conversion trainer kits as well. I'll run it up the flagpole again & see if anybody salutes it!  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

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”. |

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.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

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'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! ------------- Mick |

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. ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

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.

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”. |

im not sure how this thread got here but im having fun reading it - i suspect the suggestion area is probaly not the area tho i still have my enfield trainers so i still want the 22cal forum but ill drop that from here as im not sure there are enough of us to populate it adequately

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"! ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |
