    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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 ...

    The old Brit-style tin hats! I'm surprised they are not carrying Gas Traps... I'll bet somebody in that formation has one.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Times were really tough in post-depression Ireland. Shoes were for school and Mass on Sunday for a lot of kids including some of my not to distant cousins.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the same bloke in all the pictures?

    He looks familiar. Wasn't he a Hollywood actor before or after the war - late 1930s to the early 1950s?
