Garrett Co Hooligan #1
There is much written about SMLE's. Their history and their variants fill books. And there are plenty of opinions out there about them. Without a doubt SMLE's are an acquired taste.
I found this video to be very informative on their history and development. If it's been posted before, my apologies. But it's worth watching...
The video also is a reminder to me I need to get my Enfields to the range much more often. And, I'll need to dig out the stripper clips I've had on hand for several years and never used.
4570 and I chatted about SMLE's this evening. Don't be surprised when a bunch more .303 British ammo starts going bang at a Hooligan shoot real soon!
As "fugly" as SMLE's may be, they are dayum good shootin' rifles.
Gotta love 'em...
