    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    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.

    Here is another that I saved from a post a few years ago.

    M-14 SNIPER RIFLE 1969 VIETNAM *PIC Inside*
    Posted By: William Humes
    Date: Sat 3 Nov 2007 5:12 pm
    This is a photo of my brother, PFC Frank William Humes in 1969 in the Nortern Highlands of Vietnam. He was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division's LRRP's (75th Rangers, K Company). Originally he was issued a M-16 sniper rifle upon graduating Sniper School. They then re-trained him on a M-14 sniper version seen in the attached photo. On July 8, 1969 Frank and two other Rangers were inserted behind enemy lines by Huey choppers via rope ladders. Upon insertion they immediately came under intense small arms fire, having inadvertedly been inserted near a Battalion of North Vietamiese soldiers. During the firefight my brother was mortally wounded in the head. Keeping true to the Ranger creed, my brother was not left behind and reinforcements turned the tide of the battle. In the photo Frank is seen posing with his prized M-14 sniper rifle and an enemy helmet from his first confirmed sniper kill.
