    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 ...

    I think Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote a song about this: "Ooh ooh that smell".

    Reminds of a movie line, "You better get use to it. It's the smell of eternity." Movie- "Secret Invasion" line by Henry Silva.

    In the movie, Mickey Rooney was digging a grave yard to enter a Nazi fortress when he came upon one of the recent "internees" and came out the hole gasping for air. That's when Henry Silva said that line. Mickey Rooney replied you don't say much but when you do it's creepy.
