    15-211 Garand Picture of the Day



    Britishicon Royal Marines Commandos, put ashore by a U.S. naval vessel deep in the heart of North Korea, plant demolition charges along an enemy rail track on April 13, 1951 near Songjin, South Korea during a daring daylight raid. About 100 yards of the vital Chinese Communist rail line were destroyed within a few miles of two enemy divisions.

    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 wonder how they felt having that Yah-ink fire stick over their shoulders?

    I'll bet they didn't mind the firepower...you see the comms guy has a cartridge belt and an M1916 holster...as well. I'll bet all their weapons were US issue...

    A now deceased mate (older than me) of mine, Patrick Murphy, was one of the R.M.s sent to Korea from the Britishicon Occupation Force in Japanicon. He was operating with the US Marines when he and they were captured by the North Koreans and later held by the Chinese. His disdain for Chinese food far exceeded similar feelings I harbour towards Vietnamese food.

    "Spuds" had previously been the youngest Bootneck on active service during WWII. He also served in SBS before retiring.

    A great bloke and still missed.
