    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 ...

    The Earthquake hit Christchurch on the South Island at mid day. Same area hit last Sep. Doesn't look good.
    But Mike lives on the North Island.

    Received a note from him as well. Said OK. Different Island's but not that far away.
    Mentioned the US has already offered help.

    I have a very good friend, Al Brass, in Christchurch and no one has heard a thing from him. I'm happy Mike is okay!

    Hi guys. Thanks for your concern. Me and mine are O.K. Overall it's not good, thousands homeless and the central business district of Christchurch more or less destroyed. Plenty of food and petrol, but lack of clean water, electricity and waste disposal systems is the main problem. Saddest thing of all, a five story English language school containing young kids, from Japanicon, China, Taiwan and the Phillipines collapsed like a pack of cards and then caught fire. No survivors. Big contingents from the States, the U.K, Australiaicon, Japan, Taiwan, China and a few other places have already arrived to help. C 17s everywhere ! About 120 confirmed dead and about 250 missing so far. This aftershock has caused more damage than the main shake a few months ago as it was right under the city and very shallow. Bill, a lot of telecommunication damage, no power for computers or cell phones, that's probably why you can't contact Al. Mike
