    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 ...

    I suspect the first thing was find the Up Front cartoon just like we always looked for the With Sgt Mike cartoon when I was a soldier.

    They would be so out of touch with the bigger picture of world happenings and especially news about home in the USAicon as their home was some muddy fox hole in a distant land with their buddies as their immediate family God bless all the troops who gave us our freedom I for one will pass on what it meant with their sacrifice and what they achieved to my son so he can understand what the cost was for our freedom.
    As the IJA got to within a stones throw of Aus bombing Darwin and Derby in West Au and getting into PNG the Aussie 39th did a great job to hold them up as most of our fully trained troops were out in other lands, and the USA came to our aid helping us.
    Thanks to all.

    Dish network has just added the Military Channel (recently renamed the PC American Heros Channel) Watching the WWII documentarys it is very interesting to spot the different arma & equipment in use. In refrence to Cinders comment it also brings to mind the sacrifices of all the allied troops from the ultimate sacrifice to simply not being able to answer natures call without proper provisions or being shot. My life has been very comfortable ,wanting for little thanks to those who gave so much and asked so little.

    Alas only a temporary addition. Looks like you have to buy the whole enchalada to get the channel. Should have known it was a tease.
