    Marines on Iwo Jima repair weapons

    This has been posted some time ago but some may have missed it. Worth another look. I just noticed a Marine using headspace gages. Look close, near end where cleaning rifles on table, right after shot of Marine cleaning bore with barracks rod. Enjoy

    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 good. I'd love to go through the "junk" pile out back. I wouldn't leave anything. Note, even though working with volatile mineral spirits or God knows what cleaning solution in the cans on the bench, one man had a smoke going. Reminds me of the old days.
    Speaking of "old" I didn't see one pair of eye glases in that crowd. I can't even read my drawing numbers without them now...
    Regards, Jim
