    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've seen these. We have a shop local selling them. A cartridge collector here has the rifle, carbine, a couple others. Looks good and feels correct but if you decide you don't want them, no one else does either.

    or



    Soldiers with the US Army 187th Ordnance Battalion preparing to clear a room during urban combat training at the battalion’s Field Training Exercise site. The Soldiers were armed with airsoft weapons. Notice the orange tips.

    Many years ago...1981 I think, we were training a recruit platoon. When we came to the stalking excersie the observers were issued Red Ryder BB guns. The stalking troops were wearing eye protection so they would get shot if spotted. Regular Red Ryder guns from the store...

    Airsoft weapons make fantastic training tools. Cheaper than Simunitions while maintaining weight, size and feel. Prior to airsoft was paint ball guns. They were great but packed the real feel of a weapon.

    Side note: don't paint ball train with Navy SEALs. They freeze the paint balls and set the guns on WOT! Man they hurt!!!
