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  . 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!  ------------- Rottie (PitBulls dad.) “If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons Born free taxed to death!!! |

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.

AHEM!!  & just WHO invented it? Why-it was none other than the KING himself!!(As I re-call..KINGS not Queens held power & sway back in the day ) So-to listen to YOU lot..we've only bin speakin English since '53?!(methinks not!  )ERGO- it be the KING'S English!!
..& NO- the Scots dont REALLY speak English...I think they have invented some form of language designed to infuriate the English! 
...& the Yanks dont speak it,either!(Thats why they call it 'mericun.As in:"lemme axe him if he speaks mericun." ..& Dont get me started on the Aussies!!

It worked while the Roman garrisons were there. When they'd gone back to sunny Italy the jocks knicked the stone to build walls to pen the sheep in they'd pinched south of the border.Thats 1 reason sheep are terrified of jocks they don't have zips in kilts so the sheep don't hear em coming!!  ------------- Rottie (PitBulls dad.) “If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons Born free taxed to death!!! |
