    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 ...

    He was a NZSAS soldier fighting to free people trapped in the Britishicon Council building in Kabul.

    All these people are heroes in my eyes and deserve the utmost respect. So sad another one is gone.

    My friend from Krakow and her husband were here in May for their honeymoon and he is a commando (Capt) with the Polish Army. He did a 6 month tour last near and goes again Sept. 1st. I do worry for him and all service people serving in combat zones.

    I do pray for all coalition members and when you personally know someone who is there it really intensifies my concern for their safety.

    I will never forget how so many have and continue to sacrifice their lives for my freedom.

    To all .... Be Safe...

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
