    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 ...

    "Brings tears to my eyes."
    Me to.
    Thanks for posting this.
    Perhaps there is hope.
    I hope this is not too far afield but a book caught my eye this past weekend Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends by William "Wild Bill" Guarnere | 9780425224366 | Paperback | Barnes & Noble so I picked it up. Even though I am only two chapters in I think I can highly recommend it. If you enjoyed the Ambrose book or the HBO series Band of Brothers you need to read this book.

    Thanks AF for posting.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    If I had a son he would look like that. I would hope so anyway.
