    29 August 2023 Garand Picture of the Day



    IMPROVED WEAPONS - Master Sergeant Felix B. Sanders, Left 1225 1/2 Neola Street, Los Angles, Calif., puts to practical use the suggested invention of Sergeant John V. Polomsky, 608 Eddy Road, Clevland, Ohio, The device permits rapid firing of the M-1 and carbine during cold weather without the shooter removing his heavy gloves



    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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 ...

    Concerning the winter gloves, the Italianicon BM59 has a great winter trigger you can fold down.
    Here, what is the system exactly? I can't imagine that.
    Looks like a lever gun though...

    That one is the first, here's the old M5. The later one was smaller and carried over to the M14icon. Pics from CMPicon.
