Passing of a Milsurps friend

**Bill Hollinger** · 03-20-2011 01:57 PM

It is with great sorrow and regret that I inform all of you of the passing of Don Bishop from Florida. I got an email from his daughter Cheryl this morning. He passed the morning of the 19th.

This is all the detail I have. As I get or if I get any other information I will update you all here.

Rest In Peace Don Bishop

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.

Don was a great guy.
I'll sure miss E-mailing with him.
I loved his humor.

God Bless Don and his family.

I edited my post. He passed yesterday morning.

I worked on Don's carbine and switched a few parts out for him last summer. He wanted to pay me and I didn't want to except so a few weeks went by and then the sneaking so and so mailed me cash! Great guy indeed! I will miss him greatly. He was a very nice guy with a great sense of humor and a soft warm voice. Very sad! RIP
