    Rough conditions at Lago Arenal Costa Rica

    At the foot of the volcano. Every few hours it rains the clears up.


    The camping conditions are very rough so we must be strong and wise in the ways of the jungle.


    Survival rations are crude and running low.


    Signs of rescue are looking dim and danger lurks around every bend in the trail. Wish me luck.

    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 ...

    After a hazardous road march under constant watch by observers we escaped the central highlands and arrived at a safe haven over looking the end of the lake.

    The cat looks as if it had been on the hard stuff for a long time.

    Costa Rica is definitely on my global "to do" list, because of the tremendous variety of flora and fauna, especially the birds.
