Yeah.

My reserve unit doesn’t have weapons. Once a year, we have to whore out our “expertise” to units on the range in exchange for using their weapons and 40 rounds.

You already posted this thread with that Martini-Henry rifle, OP. Stop killing off threads.

That’s what you get for joining a part time army retard.

Mail it to me, I'm in the market.

If goat fuckers in the middle east were managing to get consecutive hits on marines with these, it's good enough for me.

Said goat fuckers also exchanged their jezails for these whenever they had the chance to do so, and did the same replacing these with AKs.

That said I still wouldn't feel THAT undergunned with a SMLE, as long as it's in good repair. I don't much care for the multipiece stock these things have; that forestock is comparatively very fragile.

>he can't into Mad Minute
lmao, just get rid of your gunz if you even have any you wanker

You can do a lot worse in a modern conflict. You can do a lot better too. I'd probably ask where the fuck all the M16A2s went.

I wouldn't be mad. Id have rather have had that in Afghanistan than my M16a4. They liked to snipe a good bit at a click away from time to time which was hard to deal with using only 5.56 due to the windage.

What armed forces are you in???

If it comes with the bayonet i'll take it

"Even as it stands, the Home Guard could only exist in a country where men feel themselves free. The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." - George Orwell

I've always wanted one. This is the best day ever.

based Orwell, even though he was a socialist I don't have but respect for him

God that's based

Based Orwell

George Orwell was an intellectual who did not care much for other intellectuals. He was a socialist, but hated communists after seeing what working what them was like first hand when he served as foreign volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. You should read Animal Farm--it's Orwell's fable about the Soviet Union..

I actually want one of these.

Well
Tally Ho!

whats a decent condition, matching SMLE rifle worth these days?

lets say
>WWI British
and
>WWII African/Indian

people have said you can still get them sub $300 but all the gunbrokers ones in that range are like starting auctions or kind of broken. doesnt have to be collectible or anything but nice condition good looking wood .. maybe $500?

Got a Aussie WW2 SMLE for 400 about 4 years ago

You can have socialism without communism but you cant have communism without socialism. Orwell was pretty pro communist until he joined the anarcho socialist POUM by chance and experienced first hand the conflict between stalinists and the rest of the left. Socialism is actually very pro individual rights and has historically been about making sure the less advantaged are not exploited by those with all the wealth and common sense arises that an individual should be armed against exploitation.

Weird that the US would arm reservists with my favorite 'surp, though. Oh well.

The price of a good Enfield has shot up in the past year. SMLEs are less expensive than good No4 Mk1s, but still expect to pay at least $340 for a nice shooter.

Unironically based Socialist.

No system that relies on absurd taxation and forced wealth redistribution, all performed at gunpoint, is pro-individual rights.

I can agree with this.
>forced wealth redistribution
That describes all and any taxation policies. Don't pull a Shapiro here.

Have you ever handled and shot an SMLE? They're stout and robust as fuck

>stout and robust as fuck
>pictured rifle has a repair on the buttstock

I owned an Ishapore 2A just like that one; within the first 40 rounds I fired out of it, the portion of the wood just forward of the bolt handle cracked and disintegrated off, never to be found again.

Ended up selling the rifle still at a (((profit))) as a project piece, but it made me very leery of that multipiece stock design.

I still enjoyed firing the 2A though (that bolt is truly as slick and smart as they say), just don't much care for the stock design. Wish the Britbongs stuck with a single piece design like they were going to with the P14, or like virtually every other country (besides France with the MAS-36) that issued a bolt action rifle.

>Ishapore
Well there's your problem. Poo can't make guns even if their lives dependent on it.

The ishapore enfields are all acceptable at the very minimum, to being very nice

"Hello Darkness, My old Friend" *Commence to slaughter the enemy with a rifle I was all but born with*

The only complaint might be a lack of proper ammo. How can I properly direct fire without ranging tracer, and how can I thoroughly demoralize the enemy if I am not supplied with volumes of DeWilde?

Really. You threw Brer Rabbit in the briar patch. Few things would make me happier than being handed a No1MkIII, infinite ammo, and being told

" This is your rifle" .

This is fucking Homecoming to me.

He was primarily a libertarian.

That would be sick, where can i get a dank ammo belt like that for my aussie nugget

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POUM
Lots of liberterian movements where actually also socialist theyre actually surprisingly compatible ideologies you should also check out the liberterian socialist group the Zapatistas who have successfully fought off the government and defended their rights to autonomy. George Orwell was definitely socialist but shifted more towards libertarian socialism after the spanish civil war.

Be very pleased its not an AR or an AK but an actual decent rifle that can hit at range and kill the enemy

kys with your shitty pol posting whether lefy crap or nazifag you're all fucking boring cancer and sound like students drunk on one beer trying to sound educated by reciting mindless one line lies you read somewhere that impressed you. The POUM were a disorganised fuckup that murdered priest and nuns and ruined Barcelonans ability to manufacture anything who in turn got murdered by Stalinists. We're all read homage to catalonia. You're not special or clever. Fuck off to pol

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism
look man im just pointing out the ideology he actually is and certain groups with that ideology. Reason I showed POUM was because that was the group he joined that affected his views. Im not here to start some kinda political shit just to discuss Orwell so if you could kindly calm down thatd be nice.

Git gud.

Shoot and stab people with it. A bullet from a bolt action will kill you just as dead as a semi automatic

I think the core of his belief system was anti-authoritarianism. I only wished he had lived long enough to realize you can't be a libertarian socialist.

Yes you can theres been multiple groups that have practiced it he literally experienced it first hand which is why he was supportive of it.

A nation never has because you can't give full control of the economy to the government and not expect that government to be bloated, corrupt, and extending beyond its rights.

Say "thank you Sir" then turn and bellow at the top of my lungs " 'A' COMPANY WILL FIX BAYONETS!, FIX!, BAYONETS!" followed by "Stand to parapet!" then inarticulate whistle blowing.

over 1000 rounds into my non-refurb 1918 BSACo SMLE and i have no worries about any part on it. i will admit the multi piece stock is a design flaw but i have never had an issue with one
