    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    At the last meeting, there was not any certainty expressed that there would be a 2010 GCAicon convention. That question was asked and the answer was left up in the air whether there would be a 2010 convention.

    Unless you know one of the board members, the best thing to do is keep an eye on the GCA website.

    There will be no GCA convention this year. Contact one of the Board members for an explanation.

    If you read the "Chairman's Column" in the Spring 2010 edition of the GCA Journal you will read that Jim Spawn, the "manager" of the GCA and publisher of the Journal, is seriously ill and unable to work. Planning a convention for a 15000 plus membership is no small thing and I believe it is Jim Spawn and his staff at Attache that would be doing the work involved with putting a convention together. Don't forget that our Board of Directors are spread all around the country and, for the most part, they hold full time jobs. It would be an impossible task for them, or to expect them, to do the work neccessary to put on a convention.
    I know we all were looking forward to the convention, but for now, I think the best thing we can do is say some prayers for Jims recovery and look forward to a convention next year. I am sure that a full explaination will be forth-coming in the "Chairman's Column" of the Summer edition of the Journal.
