    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 ...

    On a related subject, I always chuckled at the rivalry between the two Airborne divisions -- the 101st said the two A's on the 82nd patch (All American) stood for "Almost Airborne." The 82nd called the 101's Screaming Eagle "The Pukin' Buzzard" LOL

    actually very hillaious, but I won't repeat that one, I just couldn't stop lauphing when I saw it. One of my Grandads was a korean War Vet, and he use to say that sometimes while driving around to and from work. "I never knew what the heck it was" I was only about 12 years old.
    Now I just can't stop lauphing at it. I wish he would have told me back then, but under the circumstances at that time, I may not have found it funny. "AS it was always the other guys fault" no matter what. Sorry Grandad, I had to bring that up. I rember saying it in school all the time after that, Man I'm sure glad nobody there knew what it meant either. Yike's !!
