That thread on the Royal Enfield bike plant that just got poofed ..... too bad, there were some good comments until somebody's intolerant views ruined it for everyone. What I wonder about when I see all that mechanization and robots is who makes the machine that makes the machine that makes the machine .... etc etc etc ??? It really is amazing. Another thing I noticed is how trim and clean-cut all the workers are, and nobody is packing an extra fifty pounds around their belt either. Quite a range of models, I guess a guy could get a price if he wanted to ask for a quote ..... see the link below.

It amazes me the number of motorcycle manufacturers now, it went from several to a few, now several.

It is like the craft beer industry beating out the big brands.

I think my post about owning an Enfield 30-06 got it poofed.
 
David ..... your gun model post? I thought it was the replies to the guy who got political and intolerant. I guess we'll never know.
 
The rifle is a WW1 Enfield that my dad sporterized, the bolt handle has a crack where he welded the extension on, I need to fix that. My half brother is a competitive shooter, I enjoy going out with him, but hate spending money on ammo, thus I use my bow.
 
I bow hunt and over the years I have lost a good number of arrows by either them getting messed up by shooting the deer or just flat out cannot find them so I guess you do not hunt you target shoot. I'd say something about the gun since it is a war rifle but I'll leave it at that
 
Well with me deer is the meat we eat the most and that in turn saves a lot of $$ over the years plus it is safer to eat then what you buy at the store due to not knowing what the animals have eaten
 
In my area crop damage is not a problem but in this area there is no row crop farming done. Gardens yes. In this area of Mo. it is to hilly to do much of anything other then hay
 
The first part of the 19th century the US had over 200 motorcycle manufactures. The 30's and 50's there was only Indian and Harley left. Indian went out of business in the 50's. Now the Indian company is in production again, and doing very well. Stan
 
Ah but you put restriction on hunts like no AR15 hunting rifles which is what an AR15 is and always has been a rifle made for hunting and never has been a military firearm. The M-16 on the other hand is a military firearm and while simaler to the AR-15 it is not the same
 
I had a couple of acres of corn this year and deer destroyed probably a quarter of it. Wasn't helped by not hardly any other corn around due to spring weather. People hunt deer around here and they are still a problem for crop damage. Hunters can't get enough of them to suit me.
 
Must be mindset on being too hilly down there, isn't anymore hilly than up here on the bluffs of the Mississippi and we make a go of row cropping it, and I have been in your neck of the woods!
 
my first bike was a 1947 indian scout---now the company is owned by polaris industries after a few failed attempts by other companys
 
Ah so your a slug type hunting state then. In Missouri we can use any center fire rifle that has a magazine that hold not more then 10 round and or any center fire pistol. While I cannot agree to any center fire rifle or pistol as such due to some being to small to take down a deer well like say the 25cal pistol round or the 380 for another example but both are legal here
 
Just curious- do you have CWD- chronic wasting disease, in the area? MN has serious issues in SE part of state, but also has some issues across the whole state. Testing required.
 
So far not in my area. MO does have some areas with it but my farm is not in one of those areas. There are counties that you have to take your deer into be tested for CWD. There are 29 of them
 
Only ones I have seen are the 303 and that is one reason I have never gotten one. Maybe I need to look a bit more and find a 30-06 one. 30-06 is one of many I can reload
 
Really a 25 cal. hand gun? Heck they bounce off just about anything. I can't believe they allow those in your state to hunt anything Old. Way to small.
 
It is a way they use to say what guns are legal. So ANY center fire rifle or hand gun can be used but yes while it is legal the 380 and 25cal are way to small but how else can they say it with out flat out saying every cal gun can be used. They also let a person use an air powered gun or 40 cal or bigger and the Atlatls
 
At Biketoberfest I test rode a new Indian Scout .{ competes with Harley Sportster. ] It was surprisingly fast . Nice little bike.
 
Enfield made .303, couple other calibers. 1917 'Enfield' as a sort of modified 1893/1895 Mauser in 30-06 was american made by various USA makers AFTER the 1914 'Enfield contract' WW1 was completed. Indian made Enfield rifle at Ishinpore arsenal was number 3 pattern and sometime late 1970, 1980s was made in .308/7.62NATO . English Enfield number 4 pattern actions were rebuilt with .308 barrels 1980s to 2010? as partial trainer rifles, some for police use as police sniper to supplement/replace previous .303 chambered SWAT/Sniper rifles. Canadian Long Branch made barrel kits for the number 4 actions as target rifles.

Enfield lock made or rebuilt Lee action of number 3 or 4 pattern with rear locking lugs made .303, 315 BSA= Austrian M1888/90 8x50r cartridge, .275 Rigby=7x57 Mauser, 256 Mannlicher on order in 6.5x54R some for Indonesia /dutch East Indies army post
WW2 .308 after adoption as NATO standard.

1913 Enfield action was developemental stage, tested samples some in 7mm - but production was contracted to USA commercial makers 1914 at outbreak of WW1 in .303, 1917 when USA went to war the sprigfield 1903 pattern was official standard but short supply, production by commercial makers was estimated to be almost a year needed- BUT using already existing tooling for 1914 Enfield would mean production staring in a month- Winchester or Remington supposedly said one week after some deposit money could be making thousand delivered next week- just neede to chamber existing 1914 parts line to the 30-06 with the existing commercial cutters.
 
.303 was round used last Boer War, 1890s in Lee Metfords, Enfields . WW1 was main production of number 3 pattern with load clip notches- lesson learned from Boers with 1895 Mausers. Number 4 actions main production WW2 at Enfield lock in Britain, number 3s continued made Australia and indian arsenals. Sporting rifle cartridge chamberings for restricted military caliber markets - civiliand could have sort of military actions like Lee pattern- but couldn't have it in military .303 chambering. India and African colonies, Australia had some restriction also at times. various other sporting cartridges used- most common was old Austrian Military cartridge renamed 8x50R M1888/90--renamed as .315 BSA. 6.5x54R mannlichers on order as .256 Mannlicher , some 7mm mausers as 275 Rigby.

I tried my best when I made the comment about foreign workers to not make it political, did not check back to see what some posted but I am sure it got political for that I am sorry, sure would not like to ge kicked off of here.
 
(quoted from post at 15:55:37 10/25/19) After reading some of the replies I would not be surprised if this post goes poof also.

omebody used a "scrambled", to be nice, name of a political party and that was likely the killer.
 
Be like the old cowboy movies. Shoot him in the hand or how about in the center of that bullseye all deer along the road seem to have.:)

Seams "somebody" has a bad habit of turning things political quite often.

'm sure the perp knows who he is, but I don't remember his handle.
 
Always watching for those political posts ... always watching.

I'm going to walk the plank here but the party who made the inappropriate comment about hiring immigrants to work in a motorcycle factory (not knowing the plant was already in India) was a person with three upper case letters as his handle .... two of which were the same as a well-known tractor model from a well known tractor manufacturing company. This "case" might never be solved .... ha!
 
You are correct but if I remember the US was making sprinfields ,and was it another rifle in 303 british under contract. Trying to remember. Here it is , Eddy-Stone. Not that far from the Baldwin locomotive works south of Philadelphia made by Remington typewriters. Look at the M-1 carbine. Made by everyone and his brother. Heck Hoover vacuum cleaners were banging out 50cal. machineguns.
 
The M1917 Enfield and the more common Lee-Enfield are quite different rifles. The .303 Lee-Enfield had a very long life as the standard British service rifle. The .30-06 M1917 US Enfield is an American-produced variant of the Pattern 13 Enfield rifle, NOT the Lee-Enfield.

It is not particularly well-known that more Enfields were used by US troops in Europe during WWI than the "standard" M1903 Springfield. The famous sharpshooter Alvin York carried an Enfield in France.
 

I liked that video I watched it on the house puter next up was building BMW engines going watch it tonight...

I was impressed I don't care what shade they were they were get'n it done as it should be done...
 
Russian Moison contract was for Tzar, about 1/2 not delivered after reds took over, stopped fighting Germans. Brand new Moison-Nagants made in america sold cheap 1920s. Also some Winchester 1895 patterns in 7.62 x54R not delivered but inspection stamped with Tzarist mark sold here. Some Lee-Enfield number 3* marked US Property made, sold surplus 1950s with the sort of number 4 receiver sights. Post WW! the 1917 'Enfield' were put into reserve since enough 1903 springfields available for issue to reduced army, marines forces. Philipines got the 1917s as standard issue prior to and at start of WW2. Britain got some for Home Army as .30 US caliber- some still show up at English Estate sales, so does the occasional Thompson 1921 pattern. Seems Home Army records for issued rifles, etc got lost, mislaid, destroyed - rifle were issued to over aged reservists, some medical restrictions, people with critical occupations that might need a gun to capture Luftwaffe crews shot down so took rifles home with them. BBC had a show about Home Army with the american rifles issued, some minor problems 1980s when country police asked to get some back- if they had any records, Army said county police were supposed to have gotten some copies of issued rifle, some to the county police to supplement old black powder arms. .30 american was one of the 'non military' cartridges that might be found in a 'military pattern 'rifle in civilian hands and that meant army supply officers didn't have to keep real close track of them since the rifle didn't use standard military ammunition. Remington Rolling Block rifle chambered for 8mm Lebel made, sent for secondary issue. USA in WW1 from 1914 to 1917 was supplier for lot of munitions, weapons for allies. Lusitania might not have sunk so fast if munitions weren't close to where torpedo hit. 5000 British 3 inch field gun shells with fuses packed in separate boxes could be explosion risk. 90 tons of naval store to be delivered to Navy docks after passengers offloaded tucked various places. Supplemental manifest for contraband in Roosevelt museum white plains , New York after being delivered from New York City Harbormasters locked cabinet in 1940/1941 where it had been tucked away 1917 gives details of explosives, military stores NOT disclosed in manifest filed at start of voyage. 'supplemental manifests' were given to harbor master AFTER ships were outside USA territory, tucked away with final passenger list updates - replacement crew men, servants of passengers names, British reservists going to report to regiments and traveling free since the ship was a Royal Navy Reserve ship that had been activated. Official Secrets Act 50 years non disclosure to public up early 2000, manifests no open to public, scholars, researchers.

Some women 'sell', others just 'rent', a few 'give' bodies. Some also give 'Pox' that require trip to Board of Health that can be 'pain in As S' from needles full of antibiotics. If you ride a hard tail chopper like a 1954 FL , can be a 'bit of a pain' riding. RN
 
Try doing the cage thing some time it too can be a pain if one makes a mistake. BTDT and learned. Or like learning to ride a wheelie one get good fast or you pay for not getting good also BTDT
