he!!o folks. Thank you for allowing aboard. Down in NZ, Enfield's are thick on the ground, can't take a step without tripping over the things. Oddly enough, I've owned only two in fifty years. The latest was purchased a couple months ago, an 1896 MLE. Already blooded it. Such fun...... ------------- Jobs not done until you've bled on it. |

| Big 'Howdy' from Texas Drax! I've got a former Kiwi M.L.E. in my collection that was originally a civilian purchase, then taken on strength by New Zealand, then sold out of service, eventually rebarreled at Lithgow and now resides in the U.S. If only it could speak. |

Welcome from Paris France. You are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth! I spent a month on the South Island, and a few days on Stewart Island in 2002. Loved it. ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |
