    O.T." Jakes Lake"

    I know some of you know about me and my endevours.
    My son Jake 3-13-1978/5-7-2000 was an M60/M249 gunner A Co. 2nd. Bn. 12th. Infantry Reg.
    I live on 200 acres in gods country Wisconsin.
    I farmed and had an excavating business. I sold the cows and kept the excavating going until my older son Mat decided to go over the road trucking. He was the best back hoe operater I ever had.
    I have three ponds on the property that are stocked and fun to fish and visit.
    When Jake left us I decided to build a "BIG" pond in his name and honor.
    So Mat and I started the project four years ago, and today I finished the last details. It has been a tremedous amount of work. Now I'm waiting for water to fill the lake.
    How appropiate that I finished on the birthday of our nation that Jake was so proud to be a citizen and defender of.....Frank

    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.

    I'm sorry for your loss, Frank but grateful to Jake for his service to us. "Jake's Lake" seems a very nice way to honor the young man. God bless you, your family and Jake.
