	Whats "Bolt Release"? I'm unfamiliar with the term.

	Knives with ever decreasing lengths are registerable in the UK too. Many years back I had an original (more or less) Roman Gladius. I say more or less because I excavated a good condition brass or bronze hilt, but the Iron blade was just rust. We found a stash during an excavation & I was given it as a memento. My friend who was a blacksmith & Farrier plus an ancient weapons aficionado, built me as exact as could be made blade for it. We had a good relationship with the City Museum & they allowed us to examine & document an original they had to copy from. Then came "registration of a knife with a blade in excess of 6"! Yeah by about 14" After considerable debate & regarding "grandfathering of pre-existing finds" they decreed the now complete Gladius had a 2,000 year old hilt & a modern blade. They averaged the two dates & called it 1,000 years old & so an Antique (over 100 years old) & pre-dating the law.

	I believe that asking prices for Enfield rifles and parts, like all firearms since the ‘pandemic’ mass hysteria have been astronomical and the sky is the limit. I question how often they sell for those inflated prices. In the recent past I have had Enfield parts that I wished to find a good home for as a lot for a nominal fee or free which took some time to donate. I will have some mags, extractors, bolt and other parts to again find a good home for as a lot and will list again for trade or free and will gauge interest … Many have helped me with constructive advice and parts, and being part of a community that helps others is part of the fun for me - The power of ‘constitutional sheriffs’ does make a lot of sense as the highest empowered local authority, but sheriffs are not actually mentioned anywhere specifically in the constitution or the 25th amendment pertaining to a president being removed or declared unfit for office. I would never personally advocate the violent transfer of power and can only imagine, with the U.S. present justice department where even the discussion of such might end up. Even though both Canada and the U.S. mutually invaded and burned each others capitals, I am a big fan of our neighbor to the North’s hunting, fishing, wilderness exploration and waterways. I share with many Canadians a disbelief in their gun laws. Having lived, worked and enjoyed for extended periods in all of its provinces I was not surprised by the statistic that from 2000 to 2020; ‘Moose killed more Canadians than licensed gun owners’

	Much of what we pay for parts and firearms is due to the popularity of the website. More traffic tends to generate higher prices. I found an absolute gem of a website; Texas Hibid which hosts links to all the auctions in Texas. You have to spent a lot of time winnowing through all the estate sales and restaurant closures but I've been the winning bidder on a couple of items so far. My most recent win was an all matching Lithgow No.1 MkIII in excellent shape save for some minor stock damage. My winning bid? $400.
