    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 ...

    That was interesting.

    It always amazes me though how Hollywood always shows huge sparks everyplace bullets impact.

    Hollywood also seems allergic to Tennessee - they rescripted it into Texas. The movie is An American Story and here it is at IMDB.

    I am not allergic to Tennessee. But I do have a serious allergy to lead. So I try not to go to Memphis.

    The movie clip is impressive, so I will be looking for the film.

    Let's all just hope that this never becomes necessary again. But then, who knows what the future (or the Gummint) may hold?

    Best to be good little Boy Scouts: "Be prepared", not that it matters a heck of a lot with health like mine.

    Here in Canadaicon, we don't have to get all surly NOW because we now have a Government (first one in 40 years) that LISTENS: the Long Gun Registry DIED in our Senate today! All that remains now is the GG's signature.

    NOW, for our next stab at Sanity and Common Sense, we will.......
