    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 ...

    If thats a clip bag in front then diving to the prone position on a 2 way rifle range may bring the odd tear to the eye.......

    I suspect he hasn't thought that far into the list of possible events of the day.

    Regardless of how dull witted he may look, he's the ruler of that three meter area. An M1icon in the hand beats a howitzer over the hill... If he gets any angrier, the photog may get ventilated.

    That wasn't a comment about IQs or education, but rather one about not thinking he might need to go to ground and might want his kit arranged to facilitate doing so.

    That trigger fingers not far away from the trigger itself and as we do not know how well Haiti train their military I would give that person a wide berth but keeping eyes on them personnel in those countries are more apt to ventilate the person then ask the questions........

    We are on our 2 sponsored child from Uganda which I think is the poorest one of the lot over there I hope our monies do our supported child some good and provide education the last one sent us pics of his new (old) push bike he got, this one we have received a pic of his new thongs its not much but we feel good about it I think it has been 9-10 years we've been at it.

    I had to wear many things on my duty belt as well as on my ballistic vest carrier, it was all placed so it would be comfortable while driving and handy when I would need it, I guarantee if I was forced to seek mother earth for cover it would be uncomfortable and/or painful. Once was forced to take down an aggressive suspect and I landed on my portable radio, within an hour I could barely walk, was like a hip pointer. My take is he is not in combat per say but in a peacekeeper or riot control role with civilians, he would adjust if necessary.

    That's my take too. His incredulous look is probably just before telling the photog he can't have his picture...
